Plant an Herb Garden

By Polly | May 12, 2007

Planting an herb garden is a fun spring family activity that can also be used to create heart felt Christmas gifts for grandparents and friends.With your children, plan and plant a small herb garden either someplace in your yard or in small containers on your windowsill. Work together over the summer to grow and care for the herbs. As summer winds down, dry the herbs and then package them in festive colored bags or containers to give as gifts to grandparents at Christmas. Attach a small note saying something like “Grown with love” or from “From our garden to yours”. This is the perfect gift for grandparents who have everything or the master chef in the family!
