Happy April! And happy it is – its spring!

We are a few days into the Easter holidays; here are just some ideas for what to do in your garden or outside this holiday:

• If you want to get out of the house, visit a National Trust Garden, or have a nose around your local open garden – check out the National Garden Scheme website, or Open Gardens website and find gardens around your area!
• You could also encourage your kids to make an insect hotel or create garden markers. Click here for some more child-friendly garden DIY ideas!
• Finally, teach your kids about where their food comes from; plant easy-to-grow fruit and veg, e.g., carrots, herbs, lettuce, courgettes, and tomatoes, in pots or borders. You don’t even need a garden – or even conventional pots, just sow the seeds in old boots, buckets, etc.

It is the growing season, so there is lots to be doing in the garden this month – lots of flowers to plant, and so, so, so many vegetables to fill your fridge! Have a read below…
