Where is my Vegetable from?

Where is the vegetable from? Isn't it from a supermarket? How does kids learn to be the stewards of the environment? What's organic vegetable?

Here is an idea for a weekend activity. You build a vegetable garden with your kids. Show them how a small thing like a seed can turn into a vegetable. Measure the growth of the vegetable. Have each kid plants their own, water it, and harvest the fruit of their labor.



This teaches not only gardening skills, but the lessons of commitment, patience, and focusing on the goal.
