Just in case you haven’t worked it out by now, I love gardening with kids. Last week I asked our followers on Facebook “If you could use one word to describe what it is like to garden with little ones what would it be?”. The answers were wide and varied but overwhelmingly most people used positive words to describe gardening with kids. The most common response was ‘inspiring’ which in itself is inspiring to read. It is wonderful to read that so many people can understand the benefits of gardening with children. Other words used included:

• interesting
• wet
• earthy
• amazing
• blooming
• fun
• exciting
• essential
• inefficient
• frogs
• dirty
• messy
• uneven
• surprising
• magical

So, what word would you use to describe gardening with kids?
