How can I keep my kids active and healthy during social distancing? Master Gardener Karena Poke wants families to consider starting edible gardens. Installing edible gardens provides families with healthy food and outdoor activities that you do with the entire family. Parents can also create math and science lessons. Edible gardens are a great way to start growing healthy families.
Grow A Healthy Family During Social Distancing
WHAT: Master Gardener Karena Poke sees social distancing as the perfect time to start a garden at home. Gardening will keep the entire family active; light gardening burns about 300 calories an hour. It also provides a great opportunity for science & math reinforcement while the kids are out of school. Within a few months you will began harvesting and eating healthy fruits and vegetables from your home garden. Studies show when kids grow their own food they are more likely to eat and try different kinds of fruits and veggies.
