After such long winters in Northern Michigan, one of my favorite things to do in spring is to get outside in my garden. My mom and dad instilled a love of gardening in me as a child. I’ll be honest I hated those days of planting and weeding but eventually somewhere along the way I learned to love gardening. I even find weeding garden beds relaxing and a great stress reliever. I’ve had gardening on my mind and I will have my grandkids coming home the first week of July and thought it might be fun to do a project or two with them. I’ve rounded up 15 Kids Garden Crafts. Now I just need to decide which one I’d like to do. I’ve included some easier ones for small children and some harder ones for those older kids.

These Mason Jar Herb Gardens would be perfect to teach a little one some responsibility of watering and caring for plants.
This Footprint Butterfly Flower Pot by Mama.Papa.Bubba is the perfect gift for Mothers day or a gift for Grandma. Cute and meaningful.
