Alan Titchmarsh says he wants to see more children in the garden this summer holiday and beyond because it is vital kids are connected to the earth.
Children
Visit to Grimsthorpe Castle
Grimsthorpe Castle, near Bourne in Lincolnshire, is a great family day out, with adventure playground, beautiful gardens to visit and much more.
Burghley House through the seasons
Burghley House in Stamford is a great place to visit with children. Kids will enjoy a day out, running around in the acres of parkland, or perhaps having a splash about in the Gardens of Surprise.
Decoupage lanterns
Add some light to your garden with these funky decoupage glass jar lanterns. They’re so easy to make, perfect for kids and adults.
Caterpillar seed head
This simple craft idea using an egg carton, pipe cleaners and googly eyes will get kids growing in no time at all and is a great way to learn all about seeds.
Bonfire, bananas and marshmallows
Spring brings the garden into life and as the days warm up, it’s a good time to be out tidying up after winter and getting ready for the year ahead.
