Here's an amazing way to live healthier! No matter you have acres of land or a small space on a balcony, planting a family garden will always help.
Gardening is not just a stress buster activity, but it brings a lot of other benefits to your family especially your children. Who doesn't like watching those fresh veggies, colourful flowers and beautiful plants grow? Most importantly, the time which a family spends together to build that garden brings a lot of perks.
Parents can teach a lot of lessons to their kids just by making them observe the small things during gardening activities:
1. Patience and its beautiful result
2. Gratitude towards god, and gratitude that plants show towards us
3. Importance of caring
4. The importance of family time
5. Living an eco-friendly life
Here are some activities which you can make your little ones do while making a family garden:
Weeding- Removing unwanted plants and grass that are harmful
Sprinkling manure
Watering plants
Collect sticks and dried leaves
Allowing them to dig a small hole and sowing a seed
Colour identification (If your garden is colourful :))
So, get started with some basic plants, a small bucket and small gardening tools for your cute little bunch of happiness! #mindfulparenting
