Young Gardener Entry #1 Misha

Our front garden has lots of standard Double Delight roses and Misha (age 10) has recently planted lots of butterfly-attracting flower seeds among the roses. Misha prepared the soil for the seeds, planted the seeds and regularly waters the garden. We want to attract butterflies to our garden! Butterflies remind Misha of her late Granny and bring joy when she sees them in the garden.

Young Gardener Entry #2 Flowers at Maldon Avenue

My children love to help with pulling out the weeds and cutting dead branches of our roses. A little sister enjoys being outside with siblings and watching them doing gardening. They love to water our flowers. They fill up the water from rainwater tank in watering can and water them by themself. They enjoy colourful flowers in our front yard. Before school they smell the roses, which are growing in the front yard. They can recognise weeds and with the enthusiasm they pull them out to make space for the flowers to grow.
