We've been spending a lot of time in the garden lately and one of the things I really wanted to do was a little garden bed for Amelie. We actually bought the raised bed last summer and it's just sat next to our vege garden all year looking very sad and empty! Finally a few weekends ago we got some top soil and compost and filled it up ready for planting. It was neat planning with Amelie what she would like to plant and going off to the garden centre together. She chose a pansy in her favourite colour, a cherry tomato, two strawberry plants and some marigold seedlings.
I remembered seeing ages ago (in a gardening magazine I think) a grandmother that had spelt out her grandaughter' s name using flowers which I thought was such a neat idea. So we used the marigolds to plant a letter A which she absolutely loves. Everyday for the last couple of weeks she has been out there checking on her 'A' and telling me how many flowers have 'popped' out.
You could use flowers to make little pictures in the garden too- like a love heart , a star or a flower made of flowers!

Will have to try growing them from seed next- so far all I've managed is some cress!

AWESOME idea. Inspired. Think Marina and Shou might need some cornered off bits of the dirt bed we have blooming at the moment. Great.
Oh how lovely - and a great way to get her out in the garden! Have a great weekend x
