“If I’m doing planting with my grandchildren, I like to have it all laid out at ‘activity stations’ with their own little trowel and pot so they can get started immediately,” she shared with the U.K.’s Saga magazine for their May issue. “It’s no good calling children over to an activity, only for you then to have to fuss about looking for the right equipment and clearing a space. They’ll soon lose interest and slope off.”

“It’s important for children to grow up appreciating nature and part of that is allowing them to get a bit muddy,” Carole added.

The founder of the business Party Pieces, Carole, also revealed that apart from trying to teach her grandkids the ways of the gardener, she turns to her beloved gardening as a way to stay busy and active during the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdowns it caused.

“Growing potatoes is a simple one to start with, and digging for spuds is fun at any age,” she said. “We also grow carrots, beetroot, and onions, and there’s no better way to encourage healthy eating than to allow your grandchildren to see how food is grown and let them pick their own.”
