Great choice! Some easy flowers to grow with children include sunflowers, marigolds, and zinnias. They are colorful and grow quickly, which keeps kids engaged. Would you like tips on planting them?

Yes, please! How do we plant them?

To plant flowers, start by preparing the soil. Make sure it's loose and free of weeds. Then, follow the seed packet instructions for planting depth and spacing. Kids can help by digging holes and placing the seeds in. It's a fun activity!

That sounds fun! How often should we water them?

Watering depends on the weather, but generally, flowers need about an inch of water per week. You can check the soil; if it's dry an inch down, it's time to water. Kids can help with this too!
