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
