We help kids eat better by connecting them to food, sparking their curiosity, and inspiring them to make healthier choices. And there are lots of ways you can too. One fun approach is by growing leafy greens at home with your child.
Why greens? Green vegetables — especially dark leafy greens like kale, spinach, and arugula — are packed with nutrients including fiber. So, greens make you feel full while staying low in calories. And bonus: Greens are easy to grow. (There is no better way to fuel a child’s enthusiasm for tending a garden than to see results quickly!)
Learn three ways to grow greens at home: You can regrow from scraps; start from seeds; or begin with seedings.

Over the years, I learned that starting seeds indoors has many advantages. First, you can start before the growing season. You’ll see that some seed packets say that you can start seeds indoors a number of weeks before the last frost. So, you’re getting a little jump on Mother Nature.
