This week we
celebrate all things green, glorious and growing!
It’s National
Gardening Week.
With the final
comings of spring, buds are at last gracing us with their
presence, flowers are suddenly blooming and coats have been discarded.
It’s time to get
outside.
Hurray!
If you’re a
green-fingered soul then grab a pair of wellies, get your little ones outside
and dig dig dig!
It’s time to get
planting those seeds that you’ve been too frightened to over the last few weeks, patiently waiting for Spring to arrive.
Get planting! It's now time.
If you’re a little
less adventurous, grab a few eggshells, some cress seeds and some damp cotton
wool. Cover till the seeds sprout and then keep the cotton wool damp to encourage
speedy growth.
Lots of fun decorating
the eggs and more fun watching their curly hair sprout.
Your little ones will
love it!
If your afraid of
getting your little ones clothes a little dirty whilst gardening, these are the
perfect answer. Winifred's Pinnies.
