1.The key to gardening with kids，says Patti Kraemer-Doell，Family garden coordinator at the New York Botanical Gardens，is“Letting them experience it themselves.We have tried to guide them，but not tell them to put the sunflowers here and the tomatoes there.The emphasis is on developing their imagination and their appreciation for being out in the garden.”

2.Guidance comes in the form of a string grid that is stretched across a planting bed，which divides it into one-foot squares.Kids get advice about how many seeds or seedlings to put in each square and how deep to plant them.Volunteers show kids pictures of how the full-grown plants will look，so they understand how much room each plant needs.

3.Theme gardens have been a big hit in the program，and are easy to do in a home garden.Try a barnyard garden，suggests Kraemer-Doell，using plants whose names have associations with barnyard animals-lambs ears，hen and chicks，and cowslip，for example.Let kids grow a salsa garden，with all sorts of tomatoes，hot peppers，onions，and cilantro.A pizza garden can have basil，oregano，and tomatoes，In a Persian carpet garden，kids can focus on colored flowers.A seed garden can include plants that disperse their seeds in different ways，from milkweed to sunflowers.

4.Kraemer-Doell also suggests trying a sunflower house.Let kids plant sunflower seeds in a square，leaving space for a door in front.As the sunflowers grow，put a hay fence around them for protection and stake if necessary.Plant morning glories or sweet peas around the base of each sunflower，and they will grow up the stems，eventually forming a roof over the top.By summerT's end，kids will have a sunflower house to play in.

5.Some kids might just want to play in the garden，says Kraemer-Doell.At the family garden，there‘s a special place set aside just for digging and looking at insects and worms.It’s a very popular spot.
