April is an exciting time for nature enthusiasts and plant lovers to liven up the garden or balcony and start sowing herbs, flowers and vegetables. Have you ever thought about planting your own little garden? Whether in the garden or on the balcony - you don't need much and it 's really a lot of fun !
It 's really fascinating , especially for the little ones : a few seeds are carefully placed in the soil, watered a little, and after just a few days the first tender green tips appear. From this moment on, you can watch the plants grow almost every day . Over time, these tiny seeds develop into real plants that delight us with colorful flowers or edible vegetables .
Especially in the current times when vegetables are often bought in the supermarket instead of being grown in one's own garden , many children rarely have the opportunity to trace the origin of our food back to its source . That's why it is particularly exciting and thrilling to see how a "real plant" grows from a small seed.
In this article we show you a child-friendly sowing calendar for herbs, flowers and vegetables in April, so that the little ones can playfully develop their green thumb.
