What is more fun than growing your own patch of vegetable garden and farming for your own food? The answer is, doing the same with your children and teaching them some agricultural skills along the way.

The act of gardening, besides being a fun activity, has many health benefits. But when you indulge in gardening with your child, you can derive the double benefit of bonding together and connecting with the roots of nature in a meaningful and engaging way. It gives you and your child the physical exercise you need on a regular basis. Staying close to nature will help you calm your mind and clean some of the toxins created by negative feelings.

There is another good reason why you should take to gardening. Nowadays, harmful practices are followed in markets to preserve fruits and vegetables using chemical preservatives. Growing them in your own backyard will protect you and your family from a whole lot of harmful chemicals and also help you cut down on your food budget! As prevention.com puts it, “Growing your own vegetable garden can do more than provide tasty food - gardening can improve health, save money and even boost mood.”
