A themed garden makes for the perfect garden escape for your kids as they get to feel a sense of reward from a theme-focused garden.

Maybe you haven’t seen a butterfly in a while but your child is obsessed with them. Plant colourful flowers in their section that will attract and invite butterflies to the garden.
In addition, allow your kids to install butterfly ornaments or paint butterflies against an accent wall in your garden.

Teach your kids the art of growing their own food with a veggie-themed garden. The key is letting them grow what they love to eat so nothing ever goes to waste. A veggie-themed garden is a great way to teach kids the art of sustainable living.
They get to experience what it’s like to yield the fruits of their labour in a fun way. They may be more interested in joining you in the garden if there’s a reward waiting for all their toil.
