Handout: Growing Veggies
Gardening Greats: YOU can grow veggies!
Gardening is a great activity for children but is sure can seem like a daunting task! Good news – you don’t need garden beds or even a yard to grow your own vegetables – there are many things you and you children can grow in a small space or in a pot on your patio! Some of the best options for pots or small containers are:
• Sweet peppers
• Tomatoes
• Chili peppers
• Kale and Lettuce
• Spinach
• Onions
• Radishes
• beans
You can start with seeds, but a cool way to start a kid-friendly garden is to start with scraps from the vegetables you buy at the grocery store. Check out this video for how to do this to grow carrots, onions, garlic, lettuce, and lots of herbs from what you’d otherwise throw away!
As your children grow their own veggies, they can see that the part of the plant that you actually eat varies – sometimes it’s the leaves (like with lettuce), the stems (asparagus and celery), the roots (carrots and potatoes), fruit (tomato and pepper), seeds (chickpeas), or flower (broccoli and cauliflower). This worksheet will help them figure out which part of the plant they’re eating!
