Spring gardening with children

3 minutes | Monday, 23 March 2026

How can children connect with the garden in spring? What catches their attention first - buds, insects, soil, seeds?

Hester met up with Jean-Luc Pasquier, author of « Little Green Fingers », published by Felco, to get some inspiration for projects to do with children in the garden. They explore simple ways to involve children outdoors; encouraging curiosity, observation, and hands-on discovery. 

What small gardening jobs can they help with, and how can families enjoy the changing season together in the garden?
