If you’re looking to tear your children away from the XBOX or
PlayStation, gardening could be the answer. A great choice for little ones is
container gardening, which involves sowing and maintaining plants in one pot.
Rather than giving them the whole garden to contend with, the
small size of the containers will provide your kids with a manageable plot to
work on. It is something they can call their own and be proud of.
Another benefit of container gardening is that it requires
minimal equipment. All you need is a few plant pots, some soil and seeds and
you are good to go. Although these may be difficult to find at your local
supermarket now, specialist gardening retailers stock a great range of essentials
all year round. Alternatively you could find what you are looking for online.
Just like your kids, you’ll be really proud of their work
and want to show off the pots in your garden. Placing them in an overgrown,
unkempt garden will not do them justice though. While the
wild winter weather is here, it may not be wise to start your garden
renovations right now, but once the spring arrives, it will be the perfect time
to transform your garden for summer.
Trying to renovate your garden yourself can be a lot of hard
work, especially if you have to fit it around your day job. However, specialist
gardening companies like YouGarden
can take this stress away from you, transforming even the smallest of spaces.
Take a look at their portfolio
and see for yourself.
The great thing about container gardening is that you don’t
have to wait for the good weather to roll around and can start doing it right
away. Take a look at this guide to gardening in
December for what you can plant now, and move your containers into a
greenhouse or conservatory for protection against the cold.
