Urban gardening for kids

publication date: May 7, 2010
No garden? Even if you don't have a large outdoor space, there are ways for everyone in the family to become green-fingered.

If you choose to grow fruit or vegetables children will also learn where food comes from. Start with something easy like tomatoes or herbs and if you would prefer to grow flowers, sunflowers are an easy option. Your children can also measure their growth, providing unlimited enjoyment throughout the summer months. Just make sure that you and your children water daily, and pinch some of the leaves to encourage new buds.

In the following video Denise Van Outen and some very green helpers show you how to get started along with tips for successful planting.
