Planting Projects for Kids
Planting Winter Carrot Tops in Repurposed Containers
Teach your kids how to plant and harvest year-around so that growing their own food will become second-nature to them. Start with heirloom seeds (non-GMO varieties) to ensure they will be eating real food, and let your kids have fun planting and growing.



Planting, growing, and harvesting should continue year around, because eating is also done year-around, and it is recommended in our book "How to Grow an EMERGENCY Garden" (with instructions - below).

Fruit trees actually prefer to be planted in the wintertime, and sunflowers have been known to grow even in the most extreme of temperatures. Both can be planted in pots or directly into the ground with great success.
Your kids will enjoy getting their hands dirty, even if you don't, so you might as well teach them to enjoy gardening for healthier, tasty foods. 
This is an important lesson plan for homeschoolers, Pre-K, kindergarteners, and approved elementary classrooms. And as a family, you can also learn together -
