Running from the 24th of May to the 1st of June 2025, the industry hopes to encourage families to head outdoors and “Grow with Peter Rabbit” as part of a fun-filled week of gardening-themed activities.
Building on the success of previous years, National Children’s Gardening Week is once again teaming up with The World of Peter Rabbit™ to bring the joy of gardening to children of all ages. A free digital Grow with Peter Rabbit activity booklets is available to download, as well as a range of events taking place across the UK to encourage children to explore the wonder of gardening.
Events include Swarkestone Nursery in Derby hosting a free bee hunt, Jealotts Hill Community Landshare in Bracknell hosting a spring into summer fete, Plantsplus Garden Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne holding a children’s gardening club – Budding Botanists, and Kershaws Garden Centre in West Yorkshire will host Paint a Pot and free seed planting.
National Children’s Gardening Week will help support member garden centres with ideas and inspiration, and supply easy-to-use social media content.
