 I had the opportunity to review one of the Amber's Garden mats. I am really excited about this product. I haven't had a chance to plant mine because the weather was already turning cold and I wanted to make the most of this experience, so I have decided to wait until spring. But I did take it out and open it up to see what it's all about.

This has the be the easiest way to help introduce your kids to gardening and the whole educational experience you can create with this! 

Each pre-seeded vegetable garden mat comes with seeds already spaced, enveloped in a material called Raylene made of plant fiber & burlap that is 100% biodegradable and acts as a weed barrier for the first 8-10 weeks. Gardeners simply roll out mats in a sunny spot of amended garden soil, cover with soil, and water. 

That's it! That's all you have to do to get your very own garden started. This is a great way to have fun gardening with your kids. I don't have a green thumb, so this is the way for me to go. I wish I had known about these when I was teaching third grade because this would have been a perfect project to do with the kids. It could also be a great girl scout or boy scout project. The possibilities are endless! And don't we moms love things that make our jobs easier?!?
