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.
My Garden Box
Family-friendly plant projects with visual instructions and fun plant facts are packed in sweet gift packaging that makes every box a delight to open. With each box as a mini garden starter kit, little ones will see their collection grow in no time.
“I love this box and look forward to it every month! There were a couple of months where there was an issue with shipping and their support team was so kind and got it sorted out for me quickly. The plants are always healthy and interesting and the planters are really high-quality. I also appreciate the little extras like pruning shears, plant info, and accessories like propagation stations!” — Jenna M., November 2021
Camp Wildcraft Art Box
An art subscription rooted in the wild, Camp Wildcraft encourages young artists to find interest in the natural world. With each box, kids will grow their collection of high-quality supplies that help them free-create well beyond the box’s project.
“Really fantastic art box — the quality of the finished pieces are heads above other similar boxes. Really fantastic and even my 7 year-old was able to work totally on her own.” — Sarah A., January 2022
