Some of the varieties good for growing with kids include:
- Kit for growing Cress – Cress is perhaps the easiest plant to grow, you don’t even need soil; just a small tray and a bit of light
- Nasturtium – Jeepers Creepers – another fast growing colourful variety – needs little care.
- Antirhinnum. (and give a prize if they can learn how to spell it correctly.)
- Giant Sunflowers - Giant sunflowers offer a great quick growing plant. Kids love to see plants grow taller than themselves. See also tips on growing sunflowers
