Little Green Thumbs: How to Create a Children’s Garden

Most kids love to dig in the dirt and play with water. Why not foster this natural curiosity to create a beautiful – and potentially edible - children’s garden.  Creating a children’s garden is a great way for kids to build self-confidence, feel a sense of pride in their accomplishments, and practice patience, while enhancing your home’s value and curb appeal at the same time. Here are a few ways you can get your kids involved: 

Choose a Plot or a Pot
Stake out an area of your garden for your child and encourage a sense of ownership.  A couple of large pots or an old sandbox on a balcony or patio can create the same impact. Provide your child with tools of the trade. A plastic garden spade, a small watering can, gardening gloves, and plant markers are a must. 

Plan for Plantin’
Take your child to the nursery garden to choose seeds.  Fast-growing plants will hold their interest:  zinnias and “mammoth” sunflowers add dramatic colours and grow to over 3 metres in height. Black-eyed Susans are a great flower choice as they are relatively self-sufficient and have bright yellow flowers that attract butterflies, bees, and birds, which will surely indulge your

little gardener’s curiosity.  Plant vegetables such as cucumbers, radishes, potatoes, carrots, spinach, and zucchini, which all sprout fairly quickly, are relatively easy to grow, and add greenery to your garden.  Bright red cherry tomatoes are a particularly good option for planting in pots on a balcony or patio. Growing vegetables together should encourage the little ones to eat healthy too.  Nurture Nature When the seeds are planted and marked it’s time to water and indulge your child’s interest in worms, bugs and the nature of things.  A terrific way of keeping plants insect-free is to attract frogs or toads to the garden.  Providing a water source is a good start. If you don’t have a garden pond, a shallow bowl with a large stone or log is a good alternative.  Add a Child’s Touch A boulder rock with the child’s name marked on it is a great way to make the small space feel special. A tiny well-placed gnome or fairy that peeks behind flowers and vegetables adds a sense of enchantment.   When interest wanes, construct a funny scarecrow or set out a birdbath and enjoy the spectacle and sound of our feathered friends. Relax & Enjoy Gardening is a great way to convert a picky little eater. When it’s time to harvest your veggies from the kiddie garden, throw a blanket on the grass and enjoy a tasty picnic lunch.  Relax with your “little gardener” and enjoy. There’s nothing quite like literally consuming the fruits (or, in this case, vegetables) of your labour!

A tiny bit about Carman, MB

Because I will be working in Winnipeg, as well as the Carman area I decided to look into the history of Carman and would like to share  a small piece of it with you.

If you have never been, Carman is is located at the junction of Highways #3 and 13, just minutes southwest of Winnipeg.  Carman is situated in the heart of a rich prairie agriculture belt and just 100 kilometers north of the United States border.

Carman was settled in 1870 when Winnipeg settlers used the Missouri Trial to located around the Boyne River.

Business began to open in 1878 and it was during this period of growth that the settlers became interested in founding and properly naming a village on their Boyne site.

A vote was taken and Carman City was chosen, later shortened to Carman, after Episcopal Methodist Church Bishop Rev. Albert Carman.

Incorporated as a town in 1905, the community served as an agricultural, manufacturing and commercial service centre to the surrounding areas, a role it continues today.

ATTRACTIONS:

Carman is full of exciting and places for family fun.  Check these out, if you haven't already.

Visit the Dufferin Historical Museum

Dufferin's Historical Museum is located at the corner of King's Park Road and Hwy 245 in Carman.  Surrounded by the Carman Golf Course and King's Park this wonderful facility is superbly located for an afternoon of education and recreation.

Visiting the museum you will see collections of early 1900's furniture, a pianola, various clocks, early wedding dresses, tools, weapons, coins, books, household items, children's toys, Dutch artifacts and recollections of pioneer days depicted in a series of 24 water colour portraits.

CAMPGROUND AND KINGS PARK

The municipal campground is located in King’s Park. There are 43 sites and is situated near the Carman Aquatic Centre, Playgound, lighted tennis courts, fair grounds and 18 hole golf course.

It doesn't matter how many times I go to King's Park it's beauty amazes me.  My family and I have spent many afternoons there, with a picnic, soccer ball and kites.  They also have a skateboarding park there for the kids, tennis courts and the kids playground is a hit for kids of all ages.  There is also BBQ areas to set up for birthday parties and such.

You can get more information on the campground by visiting:

There really is so many wonderful things about Carman, and the area.  I will be writing more in the near future and doing a special write up on the Carman Fair, which is amazing!!!!  Until then, if you have an afternoon off, go enjoy all that Carman can offer.  I promise, you will be impressed.
