Have you ever picked fresh vegetables and fruits in your garden? Remember how fresh, juicy and delicious they tasted? Growing vegetables and fruits teaches children that plants, like people, need adequate food and water to grow and stay healthy. Through gardens, children also learn about new foods and are willing to taste foods that they grow. Easy food for kids to grow include tomatoes, peppers, green beans, zucchini and many others. You don't need acres of land to garden; many of the plants grow well in containers.
