Get the kids active with gardening

Today is National Gardening Exercise Day.  

You might be wondering what that means.  It really means just what it says, gardening can be a great source of exercise.  

So, if you haven't brought the kids into the garden to help, this is a great opportunity to get them started and to the road to more exercise.

• make it a contest, kids love to race
• who can find the most weeds
• who can fill their weed basket the fastest
• have a raking contest
• let the kids come up with some ideas - they might really surprise you!
• great family time
• great outdoor fresh air
• kids learn a great hobby
• kids are using their hands with nature
• kids become more interested about the foods they are growing!
