Kid's Veggie Grow Kits

Gardening is not only for adults if you ask me. Kids like to get involved too and I think it's important to let them do so. I believe in order to raise our kids into responsible young people we need to expose them to various environmentally responsible activities and gardening is one of them. Gardening teaches kids where food comes from, how it "comes" and importance of food among other things. This in turn teaches them about food wastage, hunger and other concepts (provided you turn them into the right direction).

Wonderful people at The Planet Greeners have come up with the Veggie Grow Kit. They even distribute a limited number of these to schools for free to help them start a veggie garden. The kits are sold for 30 dhs each and contain 4 grow bags, seedling tray, compost (to fill the seedling tray), basic instructions and seeds. Seeds vary from pack to pack to keep the excitement up. I think these kits are a good way to start a vegetable garden even for adults. 

The Planet Greeners is a landscaping company and they get involved in the community a lot. The have various programs that they conduct to give back to society.  Me and Yasmeen, she's the agriculturist of the company, had a little chat and she told me about her intent to conduct gardening workshops. I will post more info for you about it later once the details are finalized. In the meanwhile here's what the grow kits look like.

Happy Gardening
