Sunflowers in the Garden

| September 3, 2013

At the start of the Summer we joined the #KidsGrowWild Challenge and were sent a lovely Little Pals Garden Kit. Imogen had great fun preparing the flower pots and planting the seeds. We then waited patiently to see what would grow in our city garden.

For the last few weeks we’ve enjoyed wild flowers and a beautiful Sunflower. With Imogen’s consistent watering and care the flowers have grown and flourished daily.

I couldn’t resist taking some photos of our beautiful garden of flowers grown from seed.

We have a very proud little gardener. What can we grow in our city garden this Winter?

#KidsGrowWild Challenge

| June 21, 2013

Despite living in central London we always find creative and versatile ways to use our green fingers. This summer we decided to grow our very own city flower garden for our balcony. We linked up with the fun #KidsGrowWild Challenge and were sent a lovely Little Pals Garden Kit.

The Little Pals Garden Kit is brightly coloured and comes with all the essentials for gardening. We received a handy gardening bag with built-in storage space for the hand trowel, hand fork, gardening gloves, watering can and sachets of flower seeds.

Imogen gets the pots ready for planting with a bag of soil and her Little Pals hand trowel.

We helped Imogen put the bright blue gardening gloves on which she loved.

With the help of Daddy the soil is added to the pots and the flower seeds are planted.

Finally Imogen carefully waters the seeds using the Little Pals watering can.

And now we patiently await the germination of the flower seeds and for little green shoots to sprout through the soil. A little sunshine will greatly help!
