Get kids into gardening at an early age
Getting children to love gardening and learn at the same time is easy with this Caterpillar Greenhouse from Johnsons. This new addition to the Little Gardeners range includes everything needed to learn about sowing seeds and look after them. Each windowsill-friendly kit has a re-usable caterpillar-shaped propagator tray and lid, along with basil, pepper (sweet) and tomato seeds.
Even a pizza recipe!
In addition, it also contains a leaflet with clear instructions, growing tips and a pizza recipe. The growing medium is mess-free, expandable compost pellets, and there are wooden labels, too.
Little Gardeners brand manager Helen Clayton said: “Children love to get their hands dirty helping out in the garden. We hope our new Caterpillar Growing Kit will inspire little ones to get growing their own plants from seed, too.” For more on these products, check out my post on Get kids growing with the Little Gardeners range.
