Good Garden Fun
Spending time in the garden can be a memorable experience for your whole family every spring. Everyone from young kids to grandparents can get involved, feel good, and enjoy themselves.
Spring Into Family Activities
Before you head outside, it’s important to remember that gardening is fun! It’s time to relax, feel good and not worry about making a mess. Here are some spring garden ideas:
- May is a great month for planting. Two fantastic and easy options for kids are herbs and cherry tomatoes. They are both fast growing, low maintenance and inexpensive. Try topping irresistible Breton crackers with cherry tomatoes and a cheese slice for a nutritious and scrumptious family snack you can feel good about!
- Give your kids the task of watering the plants – it will give them a sense of pride as they watch their project grow and grow!
- After it rains, take your kids into the garden for a worm hunt. It’s amazing how excited kids get when they spot the worms crawling on the surface of the lawn.
A Perfect Picnic
Enjoy a picnic with refreshing drinks, fruits, vegetables from your new garden, cheese and the taste of savoury roasted red peppers in Vinta Roasted Red Pepper Crackers. Try them dipped, topped or enjoy them all on their own. Your whole family is sure to love each and every bite!
Get Crafty This Spring
Embrace your crafty side with flower pressing. All you need is a heavy book and your favourite flowers to create lasting family memories for one and all! Make a bookmark or a piece of art. Most importantly, always remember to have fun and experiment!
Make A Splash
Try making a birdbath! Simply overturn two different sizes of terra-cotta pots – stacking them in the garden (a 12-inch pot on top of a 16-inch pot works perfectly). Place a saucer on top of the pots and fill it with water. Everyone in your family will love watching the birds as they stop by for a drink.
An Important Spring Lesson
It’s important to educate your kids about the dangers of pesticides and to teach them to always wash fruits and vegetables before they eat them. Teach them at a young age and they’ll never forget this lesson.
