Growing your own food!

Getting your kids involved in the food growing process is a great, fun way of promoting healthy nutrition!  It's much likelier that your child will be excited about eating a veggie they helped grow than a store bought one.  Vegetable gardening is fun, educational, and a great way to get kids involved in healthy nutrition.

Don't have a whole lot of space in your yard for a garden? Most vegetables can grow great in a container!



Here is a link to a pdf file, which makes vegetable gardening in containers easy! It explains everything, from which containers to use, to how much light and water is needed!
