What will also help to ensure that they're interested is to get tools that are small enough for them to use. It truly helps if you make their garden actually their own.

You also want to have your kids water their own personal plants. You will need to show them how so that they are not going to over water the plants. Using a little can will make it easier for them to water their plants. You should permit mistakes considering that that is the only way they will truly learn.
