Got Kids? Teach Horticulture with Basketball Gardening!

Forget Lasagna Gardening. Basketball Gardening is where it’s at!

With three boys, it’s a good thing I’ve learned to enjoy Basketball Gardening. I’ve actually gotten quite good at it.

I like to say, "It's the sort of thing a lot of gardeners experience - it's actually quite prevalent in some gardens - but it just hasn't been brought out into the open and discussed. The fact is that it's a great way to introduce your kids to concepts like harvesting, plant loss, and compacted soil.
