Rufus has started planning his garden and is really getting into it. I hear it will involve a table for grownups to put their drinks on, how thoughtful! He also wants to hide pretend Easter eggs. What great ideas Rufus, we can’t wait to see your finished garden!

My garden so far…
I love gardening! But, like most people living in London my outdoor space is a bit limited. I have a balcony full of pots and planters, but I dream of having a big garden which is why I am very excited to be joining in this Easter project with you.
Researching and planning
I have been looking through my gardening books and old magazines, researching the types of plants I might like in my garden. I love the cottage gardens, full of flowers and space to grow fruit and veg. I’ve cut out some pictures I liked, and drawn and painted the other things I want to include.
Starting to create
Time to look through the recycling bin to find any boxes, bottles and lids I can use for my garden. I’ve made a little cottage for my garden by taping together some boxes, covering them in paper and painting. Now I need to start gathering the other resources I will need. Check again soon to see how my garden is progressing. Send in photos so we can see how yours is coming along.
Happy gardening – Mr Jones

Be as creative and imaginative as you can. Create your garden over the next few weeks and send a photo of your progress or finished product to our wow moments email. Your photos will be featured here on our Garden Blog where you get to see everyone’s gardens and comment on their amazing work.
