Gardening with children

Children love gardening as much as cooking - you can still eat the results and you don't have to wash up! You don't have to have a massive garden or an allotment to enjoy gardening. Actually, if you're just starting out, it's often better to stick to window boxes and pots or small restricted areas.

We've got lots of tips and ideas in this guide on how to grow flowers, herbs and veg in childsize spaces. Fresh air, sunshine, nature, companionship... what are we waiting for!
