Description
In this episode of our gardening podcast, we explore different ways to get children involved in gardening during Easter Half Term. We discuss various ideas such as creating a themed garden, growing edible plants, and using sensory elements to engage kids.
We also delve into the issues surrounding school funding and how it affects the provision of gardening and outdoor learning opportunities for children. We touch on the role of Ofsted in evaluating schools' approach to outdoor learning and the importance of advocating for these types of activities in our education systems.
To round out the episode, we take a tour of the host's garden and discover the various insects and creatures living in the pond. We discuss the importance of creating habitats for wildlife and the benefits they bring to our gardens.
Overall, this episode provides useful tips and insights for parents and educators looking to inspire children to get involved in gardening and outdoor learning while addressing broader issues in education and sustainability.
