The kids can grow rosemary in a pot or directly in the ground. The best part? It's super fragrant and you can use it in your recipes!

Your kids are showing an interest in gardening and you want to support their curiosity. Also? Who would turn down gardening help! You're also tad bit concerned about throwing down the cash for plants, only to have them die because the kids forget to water them for a few days.

We asked Sunset magazine associate garden editor, Julie Chai, for her tips on plants that kids can't kill. Check out the slide show to see Julie's recommendations.

Julie added, "Few plants are totally indestructible, but these can take a lot of wear once they're mature."

Bottom line? No matter what you let your kids plant in the yard you'll still need to help your kids out by serving as the back up gardener, especially when growing young plants. Consider it a team effort.
