What the Garden Actually Gives the Mom
If you've ever told yourself you're gardening with your kids purely for their benefit — it's educational, it's screen-free, it gets them outside — you're not wrong. But you might be leaving out the bigger part of the story.
Here in Houston, where the growing season stretches long and the heat asks a lot of every gardener, it's easy to frame family gardening as something you're doing for your children. A teaching tool. A summer activity. A box to check.
After years of gardening alongside my own kids, Vandhana of Vibrant Rainbow Gardens has come to a different conclusion: the garden was never just for them.
