Due to the pandemic, an increasing number of people are thinking about the food supply. They realize it might be more reliable to grow some crops at home. And since many people can’t get out anyway, gardening has become more and more popular.
When starting a garden, the first thing you probably think about is the benefits of growing food. Then again, perhaps you’re just looking for something to pass the time while you socially distance from others. But did you ever think that gardening could become something your children would enjoy?
Teach your kids to garden
Spending time in the garden is relaxing for adults. But it’s also great for the little ones to spend time there as well. Not only will they enjoy the time spent outdoors but also benefit from an educational experience. For one thing, this allows them to gain a better understanding of where their food comes from.
Have them grow something
Do you know what will get them even more interested in gardening? Try having them grow something themselves. They’ll love having a little project of their own.
Try something new
Of course, if you really want to take your kids’ gardening experience to the next level, you might want to try something different. Why not give them a special place in the garden? There’s a new fad on the internet that makes this easy to do.
Create a bean pole garden tent
This project is super easy… you don’t even need to have a green thumb to do it. Plus, it doesn’t require much equipment. You just need some poles, twine or string, soil, and seeds…that’s it.
Getting started
The first thing you need to do is arrange the poles to create the shape of a small tent. You can experiment with different shapes to ensure there’s plenty of room for your kids inside. Of course, make sure it’s sturdy, as you don’t want it falling down.
Plant the seeds
The next step is to plant the seeds. Remember, they take some time to grow. But most seeds used for this type of project grow pretty quickly.
Use different seeds
Most people prefer to use bean pole seeds for a garden tent. But you can do this with a variety of plants. To make it especially pretty, go with climbing flowers.
Arrange the plants as they climb
As time goes on, the plants will start to climb the poles. At that point, you can use string or twine to tie them up so they have the necessary support. Before you know it, the entire tent will be covered in greenery.
They can snack the day away
Your kids are going to love hanging out in their new bean pole tent. But they can do more than just spend time there. They can also snack on the beans while they’re playing outside in the garden. That helps teach your kids about snacking on healthy foods.
Fun for everyone
You don’t have to have kids to take on this project. If you want something beautiful in your garden, this is a cheap and easy way to get it. It’s so much fun for kids and adults alike.
