Join Let It Grow with BBC Children’s and Education
BBC Children’s and Education is bringing back its popular Let It Grow campaign this summer. This initiative is aimed at encouraging children across the UK to get involved in gardening and learn more about the natural world around them.
The campaign’s features
Let It Grow includes a six-week free program with videos, activities, and quizzes all focused on gardening and growing plants. The campaign also provides schools with resources and gardening equipment to help them start their own gardens.
Why gardening is important for children
Gardening can have a range of benefits for children both mentally and physically. It can help them develop an appreciation for nature, learn new skills, and even provide a sense of accomplishment. Furthermore, gardening can also encourage a healthy and active lifestyle, as well as increase their knowledge and understanding of environmental issues.
How to get involved
Parents and teachers across the UK can sign up for Let It Grow online and access the free program and resources. This initiative is a great opportunity for children to engage with the outdoors, develop new skills and interests, and have some fun while learning about gardening and the environment.
