Adams also offered tips on how to create a children's garden that would engage the interest of young farmers, suggesting planting herbs like lemon verbena that have a strong smell and so will appeal to children.

"A small plot can be weeded and watered more easily by little hands, and small spaces also encourage ownership," Adams writes.
