Windowsill Gardens

Hi Moms, Dads and Grandparents,

Want to start some seeds indoors for spring planting? Need a project to teach your children how plants grow? Do you need a new ideas for window gardening? Are you wanting to bring a little color and beauty and excitement to dreary winter days?

Begin by reading new windowsill garden ideas. These ideas are easy to implement and can be a simple low cost project that brings big results in the satisfaction department. The three projects suggested are suitable for children or adults, homeschool, or classroom use. One project uses water and pop bottles. One uses strawberry and vegetable boxes from the grocery store. Try growing a pinecone fir tree in the third project.

Growing plants is fun and easy but takes some patience after the planting so choose seeds that sprout fastest for the younger ones like beans and peas and some flowers. For your pop bottle terrarium you can start with a bit of ivy or a succulent so that the project has a more interesting show till the seeds sprout. Have fun!
