Gardening Ends the Broccoli Standoff
from Planting Atlas
Children who grow their own food eat more vegetables. That is not a theory — it is one of the most consistently replicated findings in childhood nutrition research. A child who plants a seed, waters it, watches it grow, and picks it herself is far more likely to eat what it produces. The garden also gives children patience, scientific thinking, ownership and responsibility, and the profound satisfaction of making something living grow.
