Hi just received my herbs - very nice quality thank you. Just to say that the cardboard box had almost fallen apart so you might want to considered a waxed box or something stronger.

Gardening With Children

Gardening with children can be great fun, which is why for over 40 years we have been encouraging young growers, through family fun, and supporting school clubs and community-based schemes.

This listing contains everything a young grower needs, from kid-sized gardening tools through to seed packs. More...

It is no coincidence that the youngest team member here at Victoriana is just now 18 years old! As both a business and a family, since Jeremy's parents encouraged him to pick up a trowel in the 1930s, for four generations we have been at the forefront of encouraging young hands into the garden. In fact, our motto is 'if they grow it, they'll eat it' – something that we (and many others) have discovered to be spot on!

Whilst it is fair to say that learning to grow your own food is a valuable life skill, it should never be forgotten that gardening can also be a lot of fun. In particular, gardening with children is a wonderfully enjoyable way for families at home, schools and community groups to discover new skills. And we're not just talking about growing vegetables; as any child will tell you, pretty things are important too!

True to form, here at Victoriana we are involved in a number of initiatives with schools, running children's gardening clubs and children's gardening days alongside our 'Scarecrow Club' scheme. For instance, in 2009 we co-designed the 'A World Outside the Classroom' show garden at BBC Gardener's World Live, with the aim of demonstrating just how achievable and frugal a school kitchen garden can be.

To find out more about Victoriana's ethos about gardening with children, you can read our 'Growing is Easy & Fun' flyer, whilst our commitment to schools and young people is underpinned via our generous discount scheme, full details of which can be found at Discounts For Children & School Garden Clubs. For those seeking help or advice on setting up a school or community gardening club – or simply needing a few tips on making gardening with children practical but fun – we are more than happy to advise!

And so this listing contains some choice essentials for every young grower.
