Kids Garden Seed Collection - 10 Amazing Seed Varieties

Ryan and I teaching our 3 children the joy of gardening was one of the most rewarding parts of being a parent. It's good, wholesome fun and our kids absolutely loved it from toddlers up to teenagers. We're firm believers in teaching our little ones (they're not so little anymore) about respecting nature and the work that goes into providing them the food that they eat everyday. These lessons are invaluable and you don't need a large yard or special tools. Just get some containers, a spoon, some soil, go over the directions with them and watch their smiles grow. You won't be disappointed. The seeds in this collection were selected not only because they're easy to grow seeds, but also because they can handle rough handling and they'll keeps kids engaged throughout the growing process which is the toughest part.
