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.

I continue to be so impressed with Roots. Their customer care, knowledge of their subject: from planting hedges to pruning roses and more, has been a great support.
