Grow New Business with a Kids' Gardening Center

More than ever, parents are looking at affordable and sustainable options to ensure that their children are eating enough fruits and vegetables every day. Gardening teaches kids about responsibility by caring and tending to their plants; instills self-confidence as they watch their plants grow; and offers them a chance to learn about their outdoor environment and the great cycle of life. It also provides an opportunity to teach kids about nutrition and where food really comes from, as well as providing fresh produce for the family to enjoy.

Health and wellness are nurtured with My First Garden — raised garden beds that are so easy to assemble, a kindergartner can do it. Don’t go without DOGO and their designer gardening products in 10 unique collections. Once the gardens are built and flourishing, Sassafras will provide fun activities amongst the flowers and Super Sprowtz will inspire kids to put their newly grown veggies to work. These are among a blossoming category of products that can grow some green in your coffers while nourishing healthy, balanced appetites.

My First Garden Cultivates Healthy Appetites

The beauty of getting kids into gardening is that it combines outdoor play with education and fun. The perfect gift this holiday season is My First Garden. The My First Garden raised garden bed is a unique and exciting way to introduce kids to the educational world of gardening. These gardens are designed as a starter set for little ones looking to cultivate their green thumb.

Both kids and parents will love that it only takes about five minutes to assemble the raised garden beds, and no tools or screws are required. The beds feature rolled child safety edges, so there’s no risk of scrapes or bruises while tiny tots tend to their bounty. Constructed from Bluescope Steel, the My First Garden raised beds are so tough, your customers probably won’t need the 5-year product warranty.

In vibrant colors like Sunflower Yellow, Cottage Green, and Sky Blue, parents won’t mind having these beauties spread out in the yard or deck. The My First Garden even comes with colorful magnets to decorate and customize a child’s garden bed. These colors pop on different shape options, including small and large rectangle, square, and something a little outside the box: hexagonal.
