Gardening Fun

Having fun in the garden goes beyond digging in the ground. I remember getting home from school on many an occasion to find my mum up to her armpits in soil and lawn clippings. She loved, and still does spending time creating in her garden. To encourage me to get involved in the garden, mum made my own little corner where I could plant whatever my heart desired. I personalised this little patch, planted the strangest combinations of flowers, made a painted flag out of an old white sheet to brand my little patch. 'Emma’s Garden' – not the most original of names I confess. Regardless, it was hours of fun for me, and an opportunity to get really imaginative.

Activity: Create a small area in your garden purely for your kids to decorate and plan.
