Gardening might not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of children’s hobbies, but Frances Tophill is on a mission to change that. The horticulturist, author and TV presenter believes that sowing seeds and getting muddy fingers can be magical for young minds – and it doesn’t need to involve a big garden or fancy tools.
Tophill, who will appear at BBC Gardeners’ World Live this summer, has written a gardening book for children, ‘How to Grow a Garden’, designed to help children discover the fun in planting, building and watching nature do its thing.
