Challenge Kids to Get Growing This April!

BURLINGTON, Vt. - EntSun -- As the days grow longer and spring blooms to life, KidsGardening is inviting young growers everywhere to dig in, get messy, and let their imaginations blossom with the Kids Garden Month Challenge — a nationwide celebration packed with 10 unique, garden-inspired activities designed just for kids.

Whether it's dreaming up the ultimate backyard garden, planting a pollinator paradise, or sharing veggies with neighbors, each challenge empowers kids to connect with nature, get creative, and grow something meaningful — in gardens big or small.

"Right now I have a garden bed and my dog Raven loves to help me with it! We dig together and plant wildflowers, but I would love my own herb and vegetable garden too so I could share everything I grow!"
