herb garden benefits

I STARTED READING A BIT ABOUT HERB GARDENS AND HOW THEY CAN DO WONDERS FOR CHILDREN, ARE GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND GREAT FOR OUR HEALTH.  IT CONVINCED ME TO GO OUT AND GET ONE STARTED ON OUR LITTLE TERRACE.  WE LIVE IN AN APARTMENT SO A VEGETABLE GARDEN WAS A BIT MUCH, I THOUGHT I'D JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE AND START WITH SOME HERBS.  

I FOUND AN INTERESTING ARTICLE ON THE BETTER HEALTH CHANNEL CALLED "GARDENING FOR CHILDREN." I THINK IT WAS THE ARTICLE'S OPENING SENTENCE THAT CONVINCED ME TO START MY GARDEN, "Children can learn new skills, have fun, play and develop self-confidence by spending time in the garden tending plants and growing their own food. Most children enjoy being outdoors and love digging in the soil, getting dirty, creating things and watching plants grow."

GO OUT AND GET YOURSELF A HERB GARDEN!
