Many adults who have yet to experience the joys of gardening attribute that fact to a lack of self-confidence in the garden, a belief that a green thumb is something you either have or you don't. But confidence often comes from experience. A product like My First Garden, whose function is to introduce children to the simple magic of growing plants, herbs, and vegetables is, therefore, something of a godsend. The raised garden bed assembles in about two minutes (with no tools needed) and is comprised of four corrugated steel panels held quite solidly together by PVC posts that form the corners of the enclosure. Fill it with soil, get yourself some seeds, and you're good to go. Preparing the earth, planting, harvesting - these are things everyone should be comfortable with. It is not complicated, and familiarity with it opens the door to a world of knowledge and pleasure. Kids learn about nature, gain lots of great motor skill experience, have the benefit of observing a microcosm of the circle of life, and are exposed to healthy eating options in the process.
