Summer Vegetables that Grow Easily In North Carolina
There are many great reasons to get kids involved in growing vegetables. Doing so teaches them about science, math and a variety of other subjects. Gardening is also a physical activity that gets kids outdoors and gets their hands in the dirt. Physical contact with nature can be a great way to balance education enrichment with growing screen times. Learning to grow food is also fun and helps to build skills that make children feel more confident and capable.
