We embroider the child's first name on the apron. Educators and youth leaders have always told inspiring anecdotes of how gardening boosts kids interest in school and learning, improves their attitudes about eating healthful foods and caring for the environment. Gardening can also help them develop social skills and self-esteem, and gives them a feeling of community spirit. While most kids love playing in the dirt, letting them learn about planting seeds and nurturing a growing plant can be both rewarding and educational. Gift Boxed.
