Holiday Gift Guide: Gardening with Kids

Gardening with kids is my jam – you know this. And honestly, if I’m being burtally honest, Amazon is too. It’s just so convenient. So, this round up of gift ideas for gardening with kids is via Amazon. Click to convenience and ease.

Additionally, I’ve broken these into categories – you know the aold addage, right? Something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read. So, that is what we have here!

My kids LOVE the real tools, but that are their size. And a faux leaf blower is always a good idea. However, some true magic happens when you read books and tell stories that come to life when in the garden. Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt is a favorite around here. We talk about the bugs and plants from that book all the time. Also my kids think the “Nana” character with grey hair is me – it’s fine.

Lastly, the kits to garden indoors are a huge hit and give you something to watch all winter, which we love. Opening something interactive for the holidays always helps the long days feel shorter.

If you want more gardening with kids ideas, I wrote this blog post for you.

  1. Kids Tool Set, $19.13 / Wagon $32.95 / Leaf blower toy $28.95
  2. Bug jammies $10.30 / Houseplant jammies $34.00
  3. Bean & Herb Kit $24.99 / Indoor planting kit $22.99
  4. Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt $7.99 / A Seed is Sleepy $6.70

Edible flowers are a garden staple for me. I’ll grow any and ALL of them. 

Up first in this little series: flower ice cubes. As simple as putting flowers in the ice cube tray, filling it with water, and then freezing! 

It’s making mocktail hour very festive around here! 

Flower featured: dianthus. I grow it as a perennial and while I love it, the petals get separated when you destem them and they’re a bit fragile so I prefer to use them this way or fresh.

A tiny pollinator garden! In the dead heat of summer ☀️

I planted a meter lemon (which, yes, will be great in this pot forever) and some fennel for the giant swallowtail butterflies. Then parsley which attract the black swallowtail butterfly, and Pentas which will give nectar to all the hummingbirds and bees and butterflies. 

I filled the very bottom of this pot with some rocks, then added a bag of citrus mix soil (good drainage) and potting soil above that. It’s just what I had laying around. 

I chose to place the parsley behind the citrus for a little shade and then the fennel on the sides and the pentas up front. 

Hope this is helpful for any of my small spacer gardeners - there’s so much you can do in one pot!

It started on a dead patch of lawn, which I turned into two raised beds. 

And now after *years* of research, trial, moves, waiting on global pandemics to end (♾) we have a garden with 10 beds, an arch trellis, a potting bench, and 8 hours of sun! 

Honestly, my husband has pushed me to not half-ass it. I like progress over perfect, and without his help and nudging I’d just have thrown some seeds in the ground and called it a day. Which is totally fine, and so very good enough. 

But he knew I wanted a specific place. A room. A setting for my dreams. A location that beckons visitors and creates admirers not for the sake of ego, but to inspire into appreciators of the garden in general. 

So, go all in on yourself. Don’t half ass it.

I love this plant. Calendula is an edible and medicinal flower that self sows quite well. I haven’t had it growing in my garden in about 6 months, and yet here she is! 

She likes a cooler season, but apparently end of July works too! Once I saw this volunteer pop up, I immediately started the rest of my seeds. 

Follow natures queues to best learn your own garden. Mama 🌎 knows best. 

Hoping for a big calendula year to make salves for friends and family. We love it for cuts, burns, and irritated skin. 

Oh and then there’s the pure unadulterated joy of calendula flowers adorning a cake or salad. She’s a queen, this one.
