Outdoor Gardening

If you feel bored during the quarantine or you ran out of fun activities to do, try gardening. It's fun, it helps you stay active and you get to harvest healthy, homegrown vegetables!

Here are some ideas of easy vegetables to grow in containers. You will need to ask your parents for help if you want to try and grow some of these vegetables. Look around for containers that you can reuse for planting your crops.

No sun! No Problem! Here is a video that can help you and your family learn about what you can plant in your outdoor garden (even just in containers/pots) if you don't get a lot of sun outside your home.

Join Sophia as she plants her first garden. She does the planing inside, but these plants will need plenty of sun to survive!
