Watch kids BLOOM outdoors

WORKING ON A PATCH OF THEIR OWN HELPS CHILDREN GROW INTO GARDENERS

- DAVID DOMONEY Gardening Expert

SPRING is the perfect time to introduce children to gardening. As the weather warms and nature bursts into life, it's a great opportunity to get outside together as a family, whether that's with your children or grandchildren.

Here are some fun ways to inspire young gardeners this Easter.

A GARDEN OF THEIR OWN

Having their own space in the garden gives children a sense of ownership and sparks creativity. Whether it's a small patch, a container, or even a window box, they'll love planting and watching things grow. Even growing cress in egg cups is a fantastic way for them to see almost instant results.
