Muddy Boots: Gardening With and For Children

Today’s episode was inspired by a message from one of our listeners, Katherine, whose five-year-old son is loving spending time in the garden with his Mum — especially the veggie patch, where he’s discovering just how exciting it is to grow and eat his own food. He’s even got a little garden of his own, sprinkling seeds, watching snapdragons and sunflowers grow, and really taking pride in what he’s created — and it got us thinking about just how powerful gardening can be for children. So today, we’re diving into Gardening With and For Kids — sharing ideas on how to get children involved, the best plants for little hands, how to create a garden they can truly connect with, and a few things you might want to avoid planting as well. Whether you’re gardening with your own kids, your grandchildren, or just looking to inspire the next generation, this podcast is for you! Do you have a question for the Muddy Boots team?
