Young Gardeners Galore

Encourage Young Gardeners To Get Planting ...

Everywhere I look at the moment children are being encouraged to take an interest in gardening. Not a bad thing, in my opinion ...

You’ll not only benefit from them using up some of their ‘endless’ energy outdoors ... instead of destroying the house indoors!

But if you’re lucky you can actually get them to eat some of the vegetables they grow (children all over the world are now ‘gagging’ at the thought that they might actually have to eat something that is green!).

Legoland have picked up on the trend and invited ‘Fifi and the Flowertots’ (used to be Bill and Ben when I was young, does ‘Fifi’ sounds more PC ??) to theirs for a weekend of workshops to encourage children into their gardens ...

Whilst you might think this is just a clever marketing ploy to get more people to visit (which of course it is!) if your child goes in fancy dress (garden themed) although you pay, they get in for free! Children throughout the country can now hail me as their hero as I’ve found them a real strong bargaining point for getting their parents to take them to Legoland (finally...)
