Spring
is here and it's time to get out of the house and into the
garden. I've learned that most adult gardeners started their
hobby as children. And the good gardening experiences we give
our kids today become great gardening memories tomorrow. Hopefully,
these five site picks will inspire your family (or your classroom)
to put down your keyboards and plant something tasty, beautiful,
or both.

Composting
for Kids
"Composting is fun! It's also easy.
Let's learn about how we make compost and how we use it to
grow beautiful gardens." Learning how to compost was
one of the very first tasks I took on when we moved into our
big-yard house. Not only is it satisfying to create our own
nutritious mulch for the vegetables and flowers, but it is
also ecologically and economically sound. Kids (and parents)
can learn how in this simple slide presentation.

FamilyFun:
Gardening Projects
These six fun craft projects take gardening
one step further. For example, craft number two is a sock
mouse for your cat with catnip you've grown yourself. My favorite
is a practical joke done with a pickle. "The object here
is to astound your friends with a little horticultural sleight
of hand. They'll be in a pickle wondering how you managed
to squeeze that great big vegetable through that skinny little
bottleneck." Click through to page six to learn more.

KidsGardening.com
Built by the National Gardening Association
for both families and teachers, KidsGardening.com is my pick
of the day. It offers great primers (see Parent's Primer and
School Greenhouse Guide), searchable articles and FAQs, curriculum,
and a free monthly newsletter titled KidsGarden E-mail News.
For e-cards and beautiful floral wallpaper, jump over to sister
site Garden.org (you'll find a link at the bottom of any page)
and look for "Free Stuff" in the left-hand column.
