I was on the hunt for an Indoor Gardening Kit for Jackson's birthday when I stumped on this kit. Now everyone has their own opinion about "Going Green" and truthfully I don't even want to get into that discussion, but if you are into that, this Indoor Gardening Kit is "Green".

What I loved about this kit was that is was ALL inclusive...dirt, seeds, pots, and trowel. Everything we needed to plant our own little window-seal garden. And let me tell you it has been a hit! The garden began growing SO quickly (I was shocked). The window we put it on is in direct sunlight for a few hours in the late afternoon. Here is a picture of our garden after only 3 days (I would show you a newer picture of our garden, but my camera is broken, so that will have to wait, but it is huge now. No flowers yet, but very tall plants--it has been about 4 weeks.)! Quick results definitely kept Jackson's attention and got him really excited.
It has not only been fun to learn about planting seeds and taking care of them, but it has also given him some responsibility. Jackson loves being in charge of watering "the garden" and knows he has to be very careful when doing so (we had one spillage at the very beginning of the process, but nothing since). We have a water-bottle with a flip lid, so he can easily water the plants and not spill.
This is a fun little garden for anyone who wishes they had a place for a garden, but don't or if you really don't have time to take care of a garden bigger than this.
