Title: Under 5's gardening inc a pic of Harriet
Post by: cambourne7 on July 30, 2014, 16:33:42

Hi All,

As you know i have a daughter who is now shockingly 4 !! Not sure where 4 years have gone.

But her nursery have a little veg garden and I like other people help with providing plants and seeds for the kids to grow flowers and food.

The area she is in has launched a new Bury in Bloom initiative which hopes to encourage the underfives to be hands on in a gardening or growing activity. This was lauched at my daughters nursery and they took some photos (shes the little girl in the navy top sitting down). I am so proud!!   :glasses9:

Though i would share

Cam

I can't believe how big she is, the years have flown by, Callum is 16 this year !!!!
I'm so glad the school has started them off, they'll soon be looking for allotments of their own. You're one lucky lady xx
