4 Dear Wimborne, Merley & Colehill residents,

Introduction

The Wimborne Directory

July already. Are you going away this summer, or making the most of our beautiful Dorset coastline and Hampshire forestry? Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a wonderful summer. While you are away, or sunbathing in the garden (any chance of that this year..?) you could get someone else to get those jobs done in the house and garden.

News from Westminster As the weather improves, it has been great to have a bit more time in Dorset recently during the recent recess. Despite the popular myth, recess is not just another word for MPs being on holidays! It is a chance for Members of Parliament to spend more time in their constituencies, and I always take the opportunity to visit local schools, or businesses, organisations and charities.

As I write, it is volunteers’ week, and I was pleased to be able to visit the Volunteer Centre Dorset to discuss their support of volunteers across Dorset. There are so many people volunteering in our communities, and often in unseen, unacknowledged roles. In many places across Dorset there are people volunteering in parish and town councils, and I was pleased to be able to thank some of them at the recent Upton Town Council annual assembly.

Another voluntary role that is incredibly valuable is working with children and families. I visited the charity HomeStart South East Dorset to hear about their work with over 200 families, providing support and friendship for families with young children. The feedback from families helped is incredibly positive, and HomeStart are always looking for volunteers. The typical time commitment is 1-2 hours per week over a 6 month period per family, and HomeStart will match families with the volunteer to whom they feel the family would be best suited. Please contact HomeStart on 01202 574877 if you are interested in becoming a valued volunteer.

group, and would like me to visit one of your training sessions or matches, please do get in touch with my office.

In Westminster itself, although Brexit has been on the agenda, as always there are plenty of other things going on in Parliament too. I recently met a representative from Leonard Cheshire in Parliament, to discuss making work places fairer and more inclusive for people with disabilities.

Leonard Cheshire support thousands of individuals in the UK and abroad, through their network of staff and volunteers.

If you would like to visit Parliament or have an issue that you need help with, please do get in touch; email me on michael. tomlinson.mp@parliament.uk or contact my office on 01202 624216. You can also follow what I’ve been doing Twitter @ Michael4mdnp or Facebook www.facebook. com/michael4MDNP

Michael Tomlinson MP for Mid Dorset & North Poole www.michaeltomlinson.org.uk

Community sport is another area with hundreds of volunteers working for our young people, and I am hoping to visit some of the teams during the summer. I was delighted to be able to play as part of the team for Poole hockey club’s 125 year celebrations, though I am not as fit as I would like! If you run a community sport

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing

company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the Wimborne area and

manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Justin a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Talking about Wildlife...

Summer wildlife At Dorset Wildlife Trust we know summer is here with the arrival of the little terns and the barn owl chicks. Some of nature’s most exciting displays are about to start…

At Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve in Weymouth, the barn owls have already started to rear their chicks. At the time of writing, 5 of 7 eggs have hatched and under the careful watch of their parents, are thriving. Barn owls have been roosting in the box which is specially built into the Lorton Meadows Conservation Centre, since 2010. Last year, we had the most amount of chicks fledge ever (five!), and this year is already looking promising. All this is despite the decline of barn owls nationally. The Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve, which the barn owls hunt for voles and other prey on, seems to have plentiful food stocks. Lack of habitat and nesting space are the main challenges for barn owls, so it’s great that our nature reserve can provide both for these majestic creatures. Watch them live on our webcam, sponsored by Dorset Tea, at www. dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/raptorcam.

Over at Chesil, the little tern project is in full swing, with the first egg appearing on 20th May, nestled in the iconic pebbles of Chesil Beach. Each summer these little Little Tern near Chesil Beach Photo: Angela Thomas

birds arrive in Dorset, migrating from Africa for the summer, to breed on the beach, which is the South West’s only colony. Last year, they broke records with breeding numbers, and despite their numbers dropping to their lowest in 1997, careful management of the habitat by volunteers has ensured their continued survival and growing numbers. Little terns are the smallest of the UK terns and are a fast flying graceful little bird with a black cap on their head and a yellow bill with a black tip. You’ll hear them before you see them – with their distinctive ‘creeking’ call. They are ground nesting birds, so the Chesil little tern project, led by RSPB, concentrates on protecting the colony from predators and reducing disturbance. Before the birds arrive, an electric fence is put up around the colony, and a hide is constructed for the wardens and volunteers to monitor the birds 24 hours a day, and scare off any avian predators. The Fine Foundation Chesil Beach Centre has a viewing platform to view these birds, who are hunting for fish in the fleet lagoon. Bring your binoculars!

Explaining... Lasting Power of Attorney A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a document which legally enables one or more individuals you know and trust, your Attorneys, to have the Power to make decisions on your behalf if you lose Mental Capacity (capacity). Unlike a Will which deals with your estate when you are no longer here, an LPA deals with your Financial and Care decisions while you are alive but lack capacity. There are two types of LPA; a Property and Financial LPA, and a Health and Welfare LPA. Plan for the Future Contrary to beliefs like, “I would never need an LPA”, or “My next of kin will get the final say”, the reality is that everyone needs an LPA, regardless of age or current mental health status. A former Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice said in 2007 when LPA’s were first introduced, “We all know how important it is to plan for the future. Having a Lasting Power of Attorney in place should be as common and natural as making a Will”. Less than 1% of the adult UK population has an LPA. However, 1 in 3 persons on average over the age of 65 in the UK develop dementia (Alzheimer’s Society), and every 90 seconds someone in the UK, is admitted to hospital with an acquired brain injury (Headway).

Four reasons why you should make and register both types of LPA. 1. Choice. You retain the choice of who to appoint as your Attorney’s and how they should act. If you lose capacity without an LPA in place the Court of Protection will have to appoint a Court Deputy to make decisions on your behalf. There is no guarantee this would be someone you would want and could even be a stranger such as a professional listed on the court panel.

2. Costs. For the Court of Protection to appoint a Deputyship the initial application fee is £385 plus all legal fees and ongoing annual fees payable to the court. All of which can run into thousands of pounds. However, to register each LPA with the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) is only £82.

3. Time. To register an LPA with the OPG currently takes 8/10 weeks. A Deputyship application is more time consuming and can take as long as 9 months or more at a time when you desperately need some immediate help.

4. Instructions. LPA’s allow you to specify any instructions you may have for your Attorney’s. These are legally binding and your Attorney’s must follow them.

The earlier an LPA is created and registered the better With an LPA document in place, you have peace of mind and full estate planning control. You would have specifically selected your Attorney’s and given them authority to make Financial and Care decisions on your behalf. LPA’s allow you to choose any Replacement Attorney’s and even a professional Attorney (such as a Trust Corporation), in case your primary Attorney’s are unable or unwilling to act. Finally, if you lack capacity but your Property and Financial LPA is not registered, your Attorney’s would not be able to access your bank accounts to pay for expenses such as care home fees until after they validate your LPA when it is officially stamped and registered with the Office of the Public Guardian. If you hold an account jointly with someone else they will find themselves unable to operate the account until an LPA or Deputyship order is produced to the bank.

Dorset County Show celebrates four years of providing local schools with farm visits Dorchester Agricultural Society’s Education Fund, known as Fabulous Food and Farming, continues to support local schools and organisations to gain further knowledge on agriculture within Dorset.

As a rural charity, Dorchester Agricultural Society works hard all year round to achieve its main objective, the promotion of agriculture within the county. A major part of the charitable activities that the Society undertakes is its Education Fund, which has enabled more than 1,000 school children to visit Dorset farms since it was established four years ago. The fund has also assisted with various projects within school grounds, seeking to improve children’s knowledge of food production, animals and horticulture.

Dorchester Agricultural Society has distributed more than £10,000 across the county, helping with transport and the cost of school visits, as well as projects such as constructing fruit cages and starting a chicken enterprise. Schools and organisations are encouraged to apply for funding to cover any projects that help to develop a better understanding of farming, horticulture, rural business and the countryside in Dorset.

Alastair Cowen, president of Dorchester Agricultural Society, commented: “Charity work is very important to Dorchester Agricultural Society, and something which I am extremely passionate about.

“By helping to fund their transport it has given pupils the opportunity to visit our local farms when they might not have had the chance otherwise. This is something which we are proud of as we believe it is essential that children are educated on rural life.”

The Society’s work is extended each year by donating a complimentary pair of tickets for Dorset County Show to every school in Dorset to be used as part of any school fundraising activities. This year over 130 tickets have been distributed across the county.

Dorchester Agricultural Society was formed in 1840 and is responsible for organising some of Dorset’s most recognisable agricultural events, including Dorset County Show, which attracts 60,000 people across the two-day event, taking place on September 7 and 8, 2019. 2018 saw the introduction of the Fabulous Food and Farming education area, which includes hands-on learning stations and displays, partnering with a number of local businesses and providers. This year the section is due to expand with the introduction of more activities and stations including a farming simulator, a bicycle powered smoothie maker and advice on healthy eating.

Your tree-related questions answered Deciding whom to instruct to carry out your tree works can be daunting, after all, what do we know about the fundamentals of shrubbery?

But beyond these technicalities, it is important to select a company who you have the upmost confidence in — someone who ultimately will work with you and provide a professional, stress free service. So, in the hopes of giving you a head start for finding your perfect local specialist, we asked the experts at Apex Tree Surgeons some of your most common treerelated questions.

If a tree is overshadowing a garden how can the natural light be increased?

Crown raising, tree thinning or reducing the tree’s canopy, are all effective methods to allow more light into the garden.

What rights do homeowners have when a neighbour’s tree overhangs their garden?

A homeowner is responsible for maintaining any tree or hedge that falls within their boundary, however, the owners of the tree have a duty of care to ensure that the tree is safe. If the tree is protected, an application to the Council is required.

How would I know/find out if a tree is protected?

Some councils show protected trees and conservation areas online, where others require you to contact them. As part of our service, we will investigate if your trees are protected and complete any necessary applications on your behalf.

If a tree is uprooting a drive can anything be done?

Yes, root pruning can be carried out which in most cases will overcome this problem.

In more extreme circumstances, tree removal can be an option.

Do you charge for quoting?

No, we carry out all of our quotations for free as part of our service. We will schedule an appointment to visit and advise on the trees in question and send a free of charge, no obligation quotation.

Why should people use you?

We’re under no illusion that tree surgery is at the forefront of everyone’s minds, but when a situation does crop up with regards to a tree or trees in yours, your neighbours or local community’s property, then we are the company to talk to.

We pride ourselves on delivering a professional, reliable and stress free service. From the original quotation right through to completion we work closely with all our clients to really understand their requirements and achieve the result they are looking for.

Contact Apex Tree Surgeons for a FREE QUOTE t. 01202 856404 or 0800 999 9910 e. enquiries@apextreesurgeons.com w. www.apextreesurgeons.com

What should be done if a tree is suspected of being diseased or dying?

Seek a professional such a ourselves to inspect the tree and provide a solution.

We will be able to advise on the disease and how best to resolve the situation so as to avoid further damage to other trees and plants.

Dolphin in Dorset Waters In the UK we are very fortunate to have a variety of whale, dolphin and porpoise species that inhabit our waters year round. Sometimes you have to venture out to sea to encounter these marine mammals however sometimes they approach us. Danny, a male bottlenose dolphin has frequented the Dorset coastline, appearing between Portland and Poole since summer 2018 and occasionally seeks out human contact.

Since he rarely interacts with other dolphins and prefers to live alone but in the vicinity of people he is known as a “solitary dolphin”. It is understandable that people want to get closer to dolphins, however for the welfare of both Danny and the public it is vital that they respect this is a wild animal and do not indulge his inquisitive nature by entering the water or approaching in a vessel closer than 100m. With the summer season upon us it is vital that the public are advised on how to act around the dolphin. As an example concerns were raised during the recent Poole Boat Harbour Show when, over this period, the dolphin was disturbed by excess boat traffic, with many vessels specifically approaching him.

Although it can be tempting to try to get close to these marine mammals, it is always best to view them from a safe and respectful distance, both for their safety and the public’s. Dolphins need their space and as a bottlenose dolphin, Danny is afforded a high level of legal protection from national and European legislation, including from wilful interference. Marine Connection works within the Marine Animal Rescue Coalition (MARC) Solitary

Dolphin Working Group. Our aim, when dolphins such as Danny appear around the UK coastline, is to develop action plans tailored to the protection of each individual solitary dolphin to ensure that they are not harmed or killed. Danny’s welfare is of utmost concern and we all need to work together to protect this accessible dolphin.

Marine Connection’s Programmes Officer Liz Sandeman comments “Dolphins are enigmatic mammals and the excitement they cause when they appear off our shores and people’s wish to see or get closer to them is understandable. However it is vital that the public respect that these are wild mammals that bear no resemblance (except physically) to those in a captive environment and caution around them is required for the safety of the individual animal and other water users. People should view the dolphin from the shoreline and if in a vessel, not change direction to pursue the animal but keep on their original course. We have legislation which makes it a criminal offence in the UK to harass a dolphin therefore maintaining a respectful distance ensures that people are able to view this wild dolphin in his natural environment safely, without any threat to the animals’ welfare.”

The Adventures of Daichi

The Adventures of Daichi

The Dorset Publications Camper Van Oh, Daichi the Dashing Dude, our wonderful new Dorset Publications campervan was in full spirits this month and ever so excited to be taking us for our first full camping trip. Nellie, his Grandmother, had told him all about the New Forest Caravan and Motorhome Club Centenary Site in the New Forest.

He could not wait. It was a rather good weekend too, so we did not have to worry about getting wet and cold. Well, that is for later…

One of the main advantages of “Dash” is that he has a really nifty ‘lid’ in that it opens along the side of the van and not from front to back as Nellie’s roof lifted. This means there is a tent-like structure inside the van once the roof is fully opened. Not only can we stand up entirely inside, but Hayden, who is 15 and now taller than me, can not only lie down in the ‘upstairs bedroom’, but can also sit up and read too! This is a huge advantage for a teenager who likes his own space. We, the adults, can sit

We spy with our little eyes...

Daichi settles in for the night... ‘downstairs’ quite happily without needing the awning. For a short trip this is really useful. The Dashing Dude is big enough to take all of us with no squabbling. Bonus!

Being a youngster and ever wanting fun, Daichi had brought the I-Spy books which were perfect for a campsite. “I-Spy Camping” and “I-Spy Vehicles of the Road” were a great entertainment. If you have never tried these, you can get them at any good book shop or online. They can keep children (and us adults…) occupied for hours. We walked around the campsite finding all sorts of different caravans, awnings, cars, trucks and bikes. Daichi was thrilled we had so much fun.

The next day he had planned a Treasure Trail starting at Keyhaven near Milford on Sea. Now I am not a walker and Daichi knows that well, so he tricked me into doing a near seven-mile walk! Really, I could not believe it - seven miles! I have never done that before. The trick you see

To advertise in The Wimborne Directory, please call: 01202 894397

29 is to keep me busy… busy looking for clues. One after the other this trail took us from Keyhaven amenity car park to Milford on Sea centre, to Shorefield Holiday Park (how many caravans?) and finally back along the coast! We did it, and boy was I glad to see the pub (now now…) and have a seat in the garden to enjoy lunch, even if it was a bit on the chilly side by then. A well-earned rest was had by all and Daichi was smiling from headlight to headlight, showing off his bright-white grill.

As if that was not enough… the following day we went to the New Forest Aqua Park for a friend’s 50th Birthday Party! This watersports park happens to have 2 trampolines, monkey bars, flippers, slides, hurdles, springboard, rockers, rollers, an overhang climbing wall, a swing and a giant iceberg. Seriously, are we having a laugh? How old do you think I am?

Well in fact all 12 friends, yours truly and another excepted, donned on wetsuits and off they went. Daichi was told he was too heavy and there were no wet suits big enough to fit his muscular, Herculean body.

Ready for action on (or in!) the water

There’s the answer...

He just strutted his stuff and puffed out his wing mirrors in indignation.

Men… After an hour of slip-sliding away, bouncing on air beds, climbing on wet slippery ropes and hauling themselves back onto the floating rafts, the gang came back all smiling (or was it grimacing?) and totally exhausted.

It was a weekend full of highspirited activity (and it wasn’t just the wine). Daichi is proving to be quite an asset I have to say. He maybe a little too energetic for an over 50 mature lady… or maybe not. He may just keep me young at heart! Where will the Dashing Dude take us next - I wonder?

Four Endangered Primate Infants Arrive at Monkey World in 2019!

Monkey World has welcomed four more infant primates to the park in 2019, all of whom are at risk of extinction in the wild. Three have been born at the park, and one is an orphan, adopted into a group here, but all are endangered and their lives are pivotal for their species as a whole.

Rescue centres such as Monkey World are progressively leading the way in wildlife conservation worldwide, and becoming hotspots for battling the illegal wildlife trade. While Monkey World provides a home for the refugees of the illegal trade, it also has an important role to play in conservation through working with rescue centres in countries which these primates come from as well as research into species that little is known about. By contributing to the conservation of four endangered species, the rescue centre hopes the future will be bright not just for the new arrivals at the park, but for the future of the species too.

Rare Guenons Confiscated from Lebanese Airport Make a Family Monkey World has recently celebrated the birth of a baby red-bellied guenon. Mother, Nia, is doing a fantastic job, with a strong healthy baby as a result. She can be seen often taking her baby outside to enjoy the Dorset sunshine.

Red-bellied guenons are endemic to Benin and are not found anywhere else in the world - apart from Monkey World. In 2018, Dr Alison Cronin, Monkey World Director, travelled to Lebanon to rescue a pair of guenons who had been hunted from the wild, smuggled from Benin to Ghana, and then into Beirut on a passenger plane.

Red-bellied guenons are under threat in the wild, with their populations decreasing by 50% over the last 30 years due to deforestation and hunting. Back at the park, the two smuggled monkeys regained their health, and put on

Mum Nia grooms her infant, Biff weight thanks to the careful management of the primate keepers. Now, with a youngster born to the pair, their family is complete!

Orang-utan Nursery Proving Vital for European Orphans In March 2019, another orphaned orangutan moved to the park in order to grow up with others of its own kind. Hujan was born at Zoo Krefeld, in Germany but had to be hand-reared as his mother became ill soon after birth.

Although the keepers attempted to reintroduce him to the group, the adults would not accept him, and so he needed a new family. As European Orang-utan Crèche, Monkey World takes in any orang-utans orphaned or rejected in zoos or wildlife parks – to date Monkey World has received orphans seven orphans from five different countries. Growing up amongst

33 their own kind gives orang-utans the skill and knowledge to raise their own young in the future. Both species of orang-utan, Bornean and Sumatran, are critically endangered as a result of deforestation for palm oil plantations and from poaching for the illegal pet trade and entertainment industry, so it is vital that mothers care for their babies and the cycle of abandonment is broken. Now at 18 months old, Hujan is joining a group with one adult male, three adult females and a juvenile female.

Slow Loris Birth at Monkey World Kicks Off Breeding Programme Slow loris are increasingly smuggled from the wild and killed for traditional medicine and bush meat, while the young babies are sold into the black market pet and tourist trade.

The shy nocturnal primates are completely unsuited to life during the day and find being handled particularly stressful - in fact they are the only primate able to deliver a toxic bite.

Because of their huge eyes and fluffy fur, their “cuteness” is killing them, and wild populations are rapidly decreasing. Monkey World has five loris at the park, all confiscated from the black market trades in Hong Kong, the Maldives, and Lebanon. We were delighted when one of the females, Nicki, gave birth however the baby was underweight and didn’t suckle, so the Monkey World team stepped in to care for the tiny 34g infant. Now at seven months old, the baby, named Bobbi Dazzler, is meeting Nora, a loris who was confiscated from a Beirut pet shop in 2018 as a youngster herself. Hopefully the pair will grow up together and eventually become mothers themselves one day.

Woolly Monkey Baby Adds to the World’s Largest Healthy Breeding Population Experienced woolly monkey mother, Pacaja, has given birth to a beautiful baby girl on March 23rd. Pacaja is a wonderful mother who is very relaxed in her child-rearing, previously raising daughter Oriana and son Claud. The baby

woolly monkey is the 22nd woolly monkey at the park, making Monkey World home to the largest population of healthy woolly monkeys in the world. These South American primates are prone to stress and high blood pressure and so are extremely difficult to keep and breed in captivity. Monkey World, however, has had enormous success over the years, due to the careful management of group dynamics, and the large choice of outdoor enclosures. The baby woolly monkey is settling into life with Paulo’s group, and proud mum Pacaja has been enjoying sunbathing with her new offspring in the warm weather. Monkey World hopes to pass on the knowledge gained from the breeding programme to in-situ rescue centres in range countries, to help bolster wild populations and save the species from extinction. In the wild this species Amazonian forest home is being decimated faster than any other forest in the world with more than 200,000 acres of forest destroyed since 2001 in Brazil alone and estimates that ¼ of the Amazon rainforest will be without trees by 2030.

Monkey World is open to the public every day, except Christmas. Visitors will see these beautiful rescued primates, being raised naturally with their own kind, and will be assisting with the rescue and conservation of some of the world’s most endangered primates.

Woolly Monkey Enya follows mum’s example and explores the world around her!

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Start them young

I was an incredibly picky eater as a child. I remember wanting to like tomatoes because they were such a lovely bright colour but still I wouldn’t eat them! It was only after my mother started growing them at home that I finally plucked one straight from the plant and popped it, warm from the sun, into my mouth - delicious!

Jobs for July :• • • •

Make last sowings of carrots and French beans.

Keep harvesting those beans, peas and courgettes.

Sow Spring cabbage.

Lift onions (and garlic if it’s still in) and dry for storing over the winter. Plait and hang (or store in a string bag).

• Remember to feed your tomatoes.

• As crops go over use the free space for quick growing salad leaves or radishes.

• Peg down some of the runners from your strawberries to root into new plants. Remove the remainder.

Would you like to see your youngsters spending more time outdoors and get them eating healthy foods too? Then what better idea than to involve the kids in growing their own?

While we’d all love a string of willing, young, helpers on the vegetable plot you do have to be realistic. Children can have short attention spans, will only want to do the jobs that appeal to them, and usually expect quick results. Us adults on the other hand tend to be stuck in our ways, place great importance in doing things slowly and methodically and don’t usually take well to sudden changes of plan! So how can you encourage your little ones, without boring them out of the garden, or having them dig up your row of prize leeks?

If it is at all possible give children a space that is completely their own on the plot. Get hold of some good quality child size tools and encourage their attempts even if it isn’t quite what you’d have done - if digging holes and making mud pies is more in their line than neat rows of seedlings perhaps they could create a wildlife area? A shallow dish sunk into

the ground can be used by birds, frogs, toads and hedgehogs, and a log pile will be home to all sorts of insects plus providing a possible hedgehog home.

Giant sunflowers are great fun, especially if you have a growing competition, and wild flower seeds can just be scattered and will, in time, encourage useful insects and birds - natural pest control!

Keen young growers can browse seed packets or catalogues to see what takes their fancy. Quick growing crops are a good suggestion - radishes and salad leaves pop up in no time at all and should give them almost instant satisfaction! Sweet young carrots are likely to tempt even picky eaters, as are those lovely little cherry tomatoes. Popping peas out of their pods is very appealing and how about growing their own hideaway in the form of a lush green wigwam of peas or beans? They may not be keen on eating greens, but there is certainly a much better chance that they’ll be tempted to try something they’ve grown themselves.

Fruit, such as strawberries and raspberries is usually popular, and if you haven’t got any of your own planted yet you can always get them enthusiastic by having an afternoon out at the pick your own farm.

Ready grown plug plants can be good for helping them to set up an ‘instant’ plot - take a trip out to the garden centre to see what is on offer. If you already have seedlings started, then they could have the choice of some for their own plot (and you can see whose grows best!). Finally, don’t forget ‘indoor’ growing activities too - clean out the bottom half of a boiled egg and draw a face on it. Fill it with cotton wool soaked in water and sprinkle on some cress seeds - in just a few days the egg man will be growing hair and not only can they cut his hair but they can eat it too.
