In this episode, we delve into the exciting intersection of nature, creativity, and parenting! We kick things off with a thought-provoking question from Kate Turner of The Underground Podcast, who asks about using nature for crafts. We explore a variety of creative projects that involve natural materials, inspiring listeners to engage their children in crafting while appreciating the beauty of the outdoors.
Next, Tom, 37, from Birmingham, inquires about how to encourage his kids to be more independent and responsible at home. We share practical strategies that parents can implement to foster a sense of responsibility in their children, discussing the role of gardening in teaching these essential life skills.
Finally, we hear from Jacob, 7, from Glasgow, who wonders, "Can I grow flowers from seeds in winter?" We dive into this question, providing tips for winter gardening and suggesting hardy flowers that can thrive in colder months, perfect for young gardeners eager to keep growing year-round.
