April is a wonderful time to start a home garden with children, as it aligns with both National Garden Month and the Week of the Young Child (April 5th – 11th), making it the perfect opportunity to introduce little ones to the joys of growing their own food. Gardening not only teaches children where food comes from, but it also encourages healthy eating habits, responsibility, and an appreciation for the outdoors.
carrots by Stephen A
A great way to begin is by planting easy-to- grow vegetables like carrots, which are celebrated on Carrot Day (April 4th)! With support from resources like N.C. Cooperative Extension, families can learn simple gardening techniques, such as using container gardens or raised beds.
While waiting for carrots to grow, take a trip to the grocery store, as carrots are available year- round. When you’re ready to enjoy the fruits of your labor, try carrots in different ways with your family! Enjoy them raw with EFNEP Ranch Dip, roast them, add them to a stir-fry, or try steaming them.
