Our neighbor used to garden with her daughter by having her daughter kind of play in the mud in her own personal special garden area while the mom worked on *her* gardens. It seemed to work out okay. Wouldn't work so well if Delia wants to really grow something, though. My own kids each have an area in the family's main garden, but mostly they choose what to plant there and help plant it, and then don't do that much with it again until the next year, other than admiring the flowers.
I have some chives and oregano that overwinter nicely and that I'd be happy to share plugs of. Also teenaged garlic plants, which have a really interesting life cycle. Though come to think of it, I think I offered some of those in the past and you said that they wouldn't work for you. Also, if you're interested in joining ArborSeeds (which is fairly low-traffic), you can usually get plugs of various plants for free from there. I just started a thread about what herbs overwinter well in people's gardens that they'd be willing to swap, so there might be something useful that turns up there soon.
Jan recently ran across an article about low-allergen flower gardening. Let me know if you'd like me to see if I can find where it went?
