Teaching Gardening to Kids
It's more valuable than inheritance
Parenting is challenging,
it must be done right,
or it's lifelong suffering.
So, I have many philosophies,
among them, there is gardening,
for it's a symbol of sustainability,
a must-have skill to have,
to ensure survival, and security.
So, I include my kids in chores:
sowing, transplanting, staking,
watering, composting to picking.
I teach them name, traits,
family, vitamins, pests,
of all vegetables we harvest.
They must know,
bolting, deadheading, pollination,
pruning, food chain, fasciation,
common terminologies,
in gardeners' vocabulary.
This is an inheritance,
I am proud to leave,
for the little cherubs,
it's about self-sustenance.
