Tips for urban container gardeners

Sun-safe containers

Place pots where kids can observe but won’t bump into hot surfaces. Use reflective paints to keep roots comfortable.

Soil & nutrients

Mix lightweight potting soil with compost. Feed with kid-friendly, gentle fertilizers following label guidance.

Watering routine

Teach a simple schedule: water deeply twice a week, check moisture with a finger, and involve children in measuring water.

Safety & joy

Use sturdy tools, teach clean-up, and celebrate every bloom with a family photo journal.
