Learning how to grow food is a skill worth learning. It puts your in touch with the cycles of life, with weather and climate, with flexibility and patience. Research shows that putting your hands in the soil can help boost immunity and decrease depression. Gardening is also a gateway drug for caring more about nature, the environment and all aspects of our food system. I’ve also learned from years of growing food with children that when they grow it, they eat it! Gardening causes you to fall in love with vegetables in a deep and lasting way.

Sneaking spinach into smoothies or brownies is a disservice to spinach. These pureed tactics do not cultivate an appreciation for green leafy veggies, if anything they feed the sweet tooth that too many of us have. Trust me, you want your kids to speak fondly of spinach.
