How To Make A Child's Herb Garden

A child's herb garden is a great way for children to learn all about gardening and it gives the children some responsibility. It also gives children an appreciation for what all of the herbs gives, such as, in cooking, smelling, or it will stimulate the child's imagination.

.I think every child's herb garden needs to be a small area or maybe just have a few containers for their garden. Because this would give your child a sense of ownership and it will give a child some responsibility  in learning, in the know-how on how to garden especially with herbs.

I think that this child's herb garden could have some other items in there, other than the herbs,such as other activities that the children would enjoyed to do while they are out there. working in their herb garden. Some of the different items that can be good to go in your child's garden, could be a reading bench, a bamboo screen with peepholes, that a child can watch birds feed at a bird feeder while   out in their herb garden. My daughter definitely need a reading bench included in her herb garden, because she loves to read, and this way when she wants to take a break, she would go sit on her reading  bench and read. She would be  getting herself some water to drink. Another place for a child's herb garden is by the children swing set.

I thinks herbs for this garden should have different shapes and colors, with great smells and delicious tastes. There are a number of herbs particularly attractive to children, because of their great smells and great tastes and this is a wonderful way to teach them to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Chamomile flowers, they will learn that a tea that is made from the chamomile flowers that was picked from their  garden will help them to sleep better at night. Lemon balm tastes good, and kids will learn that lemon balm is something that can be added to a fruit salad. Woolly lamb's ears are real good choice to have to put on a skinned knee or elbow to make it "feel better".

What would make the garden fun is to mix things up with fun vegetables and fruits like baby carrots, strawberries, and cherry tomatoes. The garden also would have some flowers growing in the garden, such as pansies, dianthus, and sunflowers.

I think the most important aspect of this herb garden is that the  children get to choose how they want to plant the garden or where to arrange the area.

Some of the herbs that would go well in a child's herb garden are basil, hollyhock, lavender, violet, anise hyssop, pole beans, roman chamomile, and so much more.

To me, teaching a child about gardening, raising herbs, is a great way for a child to be able to do this, later on in life. I think if anybody knows how to gardening, this will save every body's money when they go to the grocery stores.
