Resolution # 4: Involve the kids
Can you remember who it was who first aroused your interest in plants and
how things grow? Now's your chance to "pass it on" to your own children or
grandchildren. Remember, it has to be fun and not a chore, so kids need to
be doing more than simply weeding or raking leaves! Here's an idea: set
aside an area in your landscape and give it to your child for his or her
very own garden. With your guidance and mentoring, they can choose what to
plant and learn how to care for their own flowers, shrubs and trees as they
grow. I guarantee that many years from now, they'll return to "their"
garden and say, "I grew that!"


I wonder why it is that everybody assumes there are kids around.

who has no kids around, thank goodness.
