Having a garden has lots of benefits. The physical activity required to maintain a garden is good for your body, health and mind.  If kids spend time outdoors in the garden, it is good for their health also and will lead to better sleep and better performance in school.  If you grow your own vegetables in the garden, it will result in you and your family eating healthier food and being in more touch with nature.  By working with your kids in maintaining the garden, you can create family time together resulting in physical activity with a purpose shared by everyone.
