Spring is finally here and we are ready to dig in as a family and get our gardens growing.
I wrote recently about how much Kora & Logan like going to The Home Depot Kids Workshops and how much Dave enjoys taking them. It’s an activity they all look forward to doing together each month and the projects are always cute, creative, and fun.
This month’s workshop was perfect for this time of year – building kids herb planters. Kora & Logan love to help out in our gardens whenever they can so they were very excited about the idea of building & caring for their own herb gardens.
Having gone to a number of workshops in the past they were ready to start building right away. The workshop was well attended but Kora & Logan were still able to find plenty of space to work.
The planters were just challenging enough for them to need a little guidance with the screwdriver, but for the most part they were able to build them on their own.
Once the planters were built they were excited to start painting.
Kora painted a cute summer theme complete went with a blue sky, white clouds, yellow sun, and green grass.
Logan decided to decorate his in adorable color blocks and polka dots.
Once their planters were done they were very proud to show them off.
While waiting for them to dry they discovered the seeds for the herb kits.
Kora was thrilled to see the Disney Princess herbs!
Kora & Logan were thrilled when I reminded them that we had shopped a few weeks earlier for combination pot herb planter that would be their’s as well. We spent the afternoon building the planter, filling it with potting soil and seeds, and having fun doing so.
It will be fun to watch the Cilantro, Basil, Oregano, & Chives grow over the next few weeks. I’ll be sure to post with updates to let you know how all of the planters are doing and to capture Kora & Logan’s excitement as the herbs grow.
Between these herb planters and our other gardens we’ve got a lot going on around here. It’s going to be a fun spring to dig in and see what we can get to grow.

I think these are so awesome and what a wonderful memory for your kids.
We don’t have one near us…we have Lowes and they have a program for kids too and we love it.
These workshops are so fun!
what a great family project to do. It looks like they had so much fun making those!
we did the herb planter project this weekend too- but we had no paint. they had stickers from the new Epic movie. the kids loved it. can’t wait to go next month!
I’ve always wanted to take my son to one of these workshops, but never remember when they are. I’ll have to put one on my calender, looks like fun!
My son used to attend these when he was younger and he loved it.
I always see ads at our Home Depot for these workshops – this is a fun activity for families! A herb garden is a great and simple way for kids to start learning about gardening.
How cute is that! I need to take my son to one of these events, such a wonderful idea!
They look like they are having fun. I need to take my two youngest to one of these Home Depot workshops, we have one a few minutes away.
How cute are they! This looks like such a fun event!!! I need to see if they have this near me!
this looks like a fun event, I have to see if they are planning anything like this near me.
Looks like you had a ton of fun! I have been wanting to take my girls to one of these workshops.
I completely forgot Home Depot had classes for the kiddos! Now, after your post, I have to find a class in the Home Depot in town :)
No way!! I didn’t know Home Depot had “classes” like that where kids can come and make projects! That is awesome! I need to see if our Home Depot does that! My kids would love it!
They did such an awesome job!
I think it’s so fantastic that they have all these workshops for kids and what a perfect one this one was!
What a fun project!! Love your tiered planter, cant wait to see it all green :)
