Grow Gardens With Your Kids to Encourage Eating More Vegetables

Grow Gardens With Your Kids to Encourage Eating More Vegetables


Getting your kids to eat vegetables is one of those classically difficult tasks, but tending a garden with them can get them excited about eating what you grow.


Mind Body Green suggests starting a simple garden with the youngins so they can start to develop a better relationship with food. In our world, you can get everything harvested, cleaned, and prepared. This creates a disconnect between us and our food, and kids experience this disconnect too. Growing a garden with them, even if it's just simple vegetables, lets them see where their food comes from and it's possible they can come to appreciate it a lot more. You can even let them pick what you grow to get them more involved.
