You have tried to bring your kids into the garden space with you before, but you just couldn’t keep them interested or focused. Maybe you felt frustrated and a little impatient with them.
I know that frustration, mama, because I have been there too!
I used to be pretty short-fused when my kiddos would “work” outside with me because I sort of felt like my space was being invaded. My focus was divided between my garden tasks and keeping my children from undoing all of my efforts.
And, friend, that made me feel pretty low because I want my children to see gardening as a joy and a passion. Not something that is forced and frustrating.
That’s why I made The Kids’ Garden Journal!

Who am I to talk to you about gardening with kids?
Hey, there!
I’m Jess and I was once an impatient gardening mama who tried to keep her kids away from the garden at all costs.
I didn’t introduce them to planting and growing fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers because I didn’t think they would be interested AND I was worried that “my space” would become a mess.
When I took a step back and remembered WHY I garden in the first place, I decided that my kids NEED to be out there with me!
I started easing them into garden tasks by simply letting them help water or letting them explore the garden while I worked.
After a while, I wanted to get them more involved so that they could really grasp what gardening is all about. I then made this Kids’ Garden Journal to give them a sense of ownership in the garden.
