@sjyszm We made a sunflower circle last year where we welcomed our children before our gardening group began.

If you want to encourage young children to water the garden, give them a selection of tools, including a water sprayer which is their favourite! They keep going for ages and you also get a break.

An excited two year old didn’t want to forget to take the carrots he pulled & washed home, he insisted on leaving them by his shoes.

Harvesting and sharing food that we have grown in our children’s community garden. A 2 year old enthusiastically pulled up a huge chard plant instead of a leaf! Using scissors stopped the children pulling out whole plants. Snow peas and potato gathering were their favourites.

The spinach in our group’s garden was ready for the children to harvest & take home. One of our mums let us know that her child was eager to eat his spinach having been involved in the growing process.@TruroCommunityLib @CatTruroCouncil
