Feasterville, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/27/2019 -- As the premier garden center serving Bucks County and the surrounding areas, Leck's Greenhouses understands that the gardening season provides plenty of opportunities for the entire family to enjoy and reap the many benefits of tending to a garden. Now, the company is offering ideas on fun activities to get children interested and involved in this satisfying hobby.
Gardening provides a wealth of benefits for young children. For instance, it helps to introduce them to concepts such as planning and organizing, science and nature, and math. For small children, it can even help them to develop their fine motor skills. Additionally, gardening teaches kids patience, responsibility, and encourages bonding with the entire family.
Although burning out children with tedious gardening tasks should be avoided, there are plenty of activities that kids can handle in the garden. Raking and collecting twigs and other debris can keep them engaged, as can watering with a hose, digging holes for seeds and young plants, and harvesting fruits and vegetables are all perfect ways to get kids in on the fun.
Gardening isn't just a way to introduce children to basic concepts. It's also ideal for instilling in them an appreciation for nature and an understanding of their effect on the planet. This can help them to understand the essential role of local farmers and even promote healthy eating habits.
From an excellent form of physical activity to a way to appreciate nature to encouraging environmental consciousness, gardening has a wide range of benefits for the entire family. This season, get them in on the fun.
