The Kids' Gardening Kits & Crafts That Plant a Love of Nature

Updated April 25, 2024 by Shannon Ratliff

Gardening teaches us patience and resilience, and let’s be honest, a little humility for our first few “plant experiments.” Little gardeners learn these skills in stride. From filling their own watering can to pulling on their gardening gloves, little hands will refine motor skills and those with a knack for nature will nurture their sprouts and flower gardens with a sense of responsibility.

Sure, you can find a kids garden tool set on Amazon made for indoor gardening, but the best kids gardening kits aren’t just herbs in windows or lettuce growing in cups. It’s not about tools like trowels or terrariums. Growing a love of gardening in little ones is rooted in newness and variety.
