I bought this for a neighbors son that likes to work outside with his parents. It is durable and the little tools are great. I truely hope it will inspire him to continue bringing me vegtables from his garden.

Just as my daughter has outgrown the Saturday children's workshops at Home Depot, she quickly outgrew this too. We got this set last year when we set up a small container garden on our tiny back porch to grow flowers and herbs. This was good for her at that time, age six, but now that she is seven and we have gone on to do some real gardening, she wants to use the tools Mother and Father are using because she is more grown up.

This is recommended and it is durable, but get the real tools from your local gardening center for kids seven and older because they will want them anyway. Because of the bright colors, these are easy to find in the dirt and grass, but my daughter is actually more drawn to the shiny silver of the larger trowel we got her. We also both like the larger plastic watering cans because we don't have to make so many trips to the spigot. We pass toys around in our family, and Dahlia actually suggested we pass this set on to her nephew because "he's smaller". Recommended, but for little kids.
