Busy children at Little Trinity Nursery in Kidderminster have sowed seeds and planted all sorts of vegetables and flowers in the nursery’s garden.
A long-established year-round activity from spring planting through to harvest and winter sowing, the children grow all kinds of vegetables, flowers and herbs and produce an increasing selection of plants each year.
Manager, Gaynor Carter, said: “Sowing seeds and then watching them grow in the nursery’s garden is a wonderful way to introduce the 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 enjoy, particularly when it’s time to harvest the fruit and vegetables, as these are then tried and eaten at Nursery or taken home to share with their families.”
