With summer here, children at Little Trinity Nursery in Kidderminster are busy sowing seeds and planting all kinds of vegetables and flowers.
Manager, Gaynor Carter, commented: “Sowing seeds and then watching them grow in the nursery garden is a wonderful way to introduce our children to the wonder of the natural world.
“Exploring and developing practical skills through play, using garden tools, trowels and forks and then watering their newly planted seeds is a learning activity which is fun and one that all our children from the youngest at 2-years of age upwards can take part in.”
Little Trinity’s garden is a long-established year-round activity from spring to winter planting.
“General gardening and plant growing is an activity the children love and thoroughly enjoy, particularly when it’s time to harvest fruit and vegetables, as these are then tried and eaten at Nursery or taken home to share with their families.”
