About a year ago I had to leave for a tour in Iraq. I started writing letters to her and was not able to keep up the garden we planted. My mom had found some letters online at the Eco direct store and she sent them to me. The letters were ones that had seeds in them and could be planted. So my daughter and I have been exchanging these letters for a few months now. The goal is to come home asap and show her the plant that grew from her letter and vice versa. It has been a wonderful way to connect so thank you for this. @Kristin I adore the programs that teach children the value of growth in this way.

Check out Working For Green, we seek to inspire others to make small changes to help the environment and save money through inspirational people across the country. Here's a link to one of our videos about an eco friendly day care center in Portland, OR. They teach the children plant and manage the school's vegetable garden. http://www.workingforgreen.net/node/203 -Kristin I agree with you, starting a garden with your children is a great way to keep them active and educate them about healthy nutritious foods.
