Indoors

A red worm compost bin is a great – and easy – way to recycle certain food waste and improve garden soil. Just add your scraps and let the wonder worms do the rest until your compost is ready for harvesting. (The process is so simple, a child can do it!)

Carnivorous plants can be pretty tricky to grow – they need lots of humidity and sunlight. Help them along with a quick and easy bottle terrarium that lets your family experiment with these fascinating plants!

Children tend to eat more fruits and vegetables when they’re the ones who help plant, pick and prepare the harvest. But bringing their prized produce into the kitchen means knowing the safety rules first.

Winter is the perfect time to start preparing your children for the joys of gardening this spring. Grab the kids, a few gardening books, some crayons and get planning!

Turn unwanted paper into creative, textured stationery decorated with plant material. It’s simple, fun and a great project to do with the kids – and definitely something to write home about!
