My grandfather used to plant a huge vegetable garden every year, no matter that he lived right in the heart of Los Angeles. I remember growing up with fresh corn and zucchini from his harvest and seeing his huge stock of carefully caterogized and labeled seeds. Now that my kids are getting a little older, I decided it was time for us to start planting a small vegetable garden and we are having fun observing our proverbial “garden grow.”
This is a favorite garden project for kids: Seed Starts using Egg Cartons. We might have actually overdone it this year as I have more seedlings than space! In any case check out how to start seeds over on PBS Crafts for Kids where I share the complete tutorial.
Happy Planting!

Aw, these are so cute! Projects like this are so fun to take on with little ones. It’s a great way to foster their appreciation for gardening and plants early on, and it gives you an opportunity to work towards a goal together! Very cool! Thanks for sharing this idea!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for reading!
They look great! A great way to learn about nature and about recycling! Just remember to have everyone thoroughly wash their hands after handling egg cartons.
