Planting ideas

Potatoes in a bottle – plant a potato in a transparent plastic bottle and watch it grow! If you like that idea, how about growing beans in a jar.

Upcycle old kids wellies – fill with colourful flowers or veg and decorate your plot.

 

Arts and crafts

Making your mark – painting stones

Painted stone plant labels

Poppy seed head puppets

Leaf totem poles – thread different types of leaves onto sticks and display them on your plot. Or maybe make pictures with leaves or berries?

Making plant bugs from fall leaves.

 

Wildlife friendly

Build a Bug hotel – simple or 5 star

Make bird food decorations
