National Children’s Gardening Week
National Children’s Gardening Week (24 May – 1 June 2025) is all about helping children grow—literally and figuratively—through hands-on gardening fun.
Inspiring the Next Generation of Gardeners
National Children’s Gardening Week celebrates the joy of gardening with kids of all ages. It’s timed perfectly with late spring so children can enjoy speedy results from planting seeds, building bug hotels, or creating mini gardens. From parents and grandparents to teachers and garden centres, everyone is encouraged to get involved. Whether you’ve got a garden, patio, balcony, or windowsill, it’s about making magical memories outdoors together. On the official site, you’ll find creative gardening projects, tips, and downloadable resources to spark children’s curiosity and connection with nature.

Supporting Greenfingers Charity
National Children’s Gardening Week also proudly supports Greenfingers, a charity that builds inspiring gardens for children in hospices across the UK. These gardens are safe, peaceful, and joyful spaces where children and their families can play, rest, or just be together. Every time you take part, you’re helping raise awareness and support for these incredible outdoor sanctuaries.
