Growums Review - (And a Giveaway)


About Growums (From the Website)

In addition, the Growums program:
  • Gives children a life-changing experience, teaching them that they can grow their own food and help the environment, as well as emphasize the importance of healthy eating
  • Gives them gardening knowledge and shows them the skills it takes to become a successful gardener – no matter what their age
  • Gives kids a chance to have fun quality time with their parents, siblings and grandparents – both out in the garden, as well as online
  • Gives back to your organization, charity or fundraiser 
Growums has six different Gardens to choose from:
  1. Salad Garden
  2. Ratatouille Garden
  3. Taco Garden
  4. Stir Fry Garden
  5. Pizza Garden
  6. Herb Garden
 I was lucky enough to be able to review a Salad Garden:

 My Review:

My daughter likes to play with dirt, she likes to help me water the flowers we have, and she loves to watch plants grow. She’s fascinated by plants; it’s cute to see how gentle and nurturing she is with the plants. I had the chance to try a Growums Salad Garden (http://growums.com/) and I knew this would make for a great opportunity for my daughter to get to develop get little green somewhat dirty and sticky thumb.

98% of kids who grow vegetables eat them according to the American Gardening Association, thankfully my child likes and eats vegetables! I looked at this opportunity as a teaching one, one that lets my daughter take charge, with a little help from Mommy she was able to plant her salad seeds which consisted of: carrots, cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes. All you need is a pie tin or shallow dish and warm water, it really is simple. We had a blast doing it and my daughter is always amazed at how the coco pellets expand so quickly! There are 6 gardens to choose from like pizza, stir fry and taco and for $9.99 each you can try a couple and have a chance to teach your kids about eating better and being responsible for taking care of a living thing. Hopefully in a couple of weeks we will have all the ingredients we need for a salad. I’m wondering just how we can grow dressing to go with it?
