Ever since we got our allotment last year, Alfie has been into all things green-fingered. So he’ll absolutely love the projects in Gardening Lab for Kids by Renata Fossen Brown (Quarry, RRP £16.99). You’ll find everything you need to keep small people entertained in the garden with 52 projects, ranging from growing simple seeds in a plastic bag, to creating themed gardens (think pizza ingredients or butterfly attractors) and making homes for bugs and birds. There are also garden-based and inspired art and crafts and quirky growing ideas, such as a sweet pea teepee (we actually did this with beans at the allotment and it is a huge hit). Would make a lovely gift for the children of keen gardeners.
