Plants for Kids

To make gardening as accessible (and entertaining) for children as possible, we recommend easy (plus fast) growing plants, fun edibles (we’re looking at you, cucamelon…) and plants that encourage more wildlife to visit your garden. So put those wellies on, pay a visit to the bug hotel and get prepared for clean clothes to be muddied.
