One of the more interesting ways to garden is to grow items in containers. You might be surprised at the types of plants you can grow in a container garden. Container gardening can be a great way to grow your own food, improving your self-reliance and living more sustainably.

Go hiking and camping and show them the beauty of the outdoors (and teach them to leave trails and campsites better than when you arrived) Plant a garden with your children to give them a tangible example of how much fun growing your own food and eating healthy can be!
