  Every mom is interested in sharing life-lessons with their kids that'll eventually prepare them for the world beyond their childhood home.

It may surprise you to know that gardening also teaches self-sufficiency, sustainability, problem solving, record-keeping, observation, and responsibility with some math and science thrown in. Come see why so many kids have found another way to play in the dirt and their parents love every minute of it! Gardening editor: Christine McLaughlin
