This is a great way to get children outdoors and into gardening. For just £5.50 children can plant up a box with three plants – choose from pepper, lettuce, tomato or strawberry plants – then take the box home to care for the plants and watch them grow. Children will no doubt see the fun in eating their own home-grown greens!

Squire’s will also be running other free activities during half term. Get creative and enter the colouring competition to colour in Hazel the squirrel in her vegetable garden, the best entries will win a prize. Or be a detective and take part in their Veggie Hunt – follow a trail of questions around the garden centre and collect a sticker at the end.
