Growing with kids: five plants that never disappoint

Choose plants that reward patience quickly: radishes (25 days), sunflower microgreens (10 days), cherry tomatoes, mint, and butterfly pea.

Let kids own a pot, name their plant, and track its growth in a notebook. The daily ritual of checking is where the magic happens.

Keep it simple: one plant, one label, one watering can. Add complexity only after the first successful harvest.
