This year the HTA is partnering with Penguin Random House Children’s and The World of Peter Rabbit for National Children’s Gardening Week, from27 May to 4 June 2023.
From the moment that Peter Rabbit first stepped into Mr McGregor’s Garden in The Tale of Peter Rabbit, this mischievous bunny has been associated with garden adventures! So, this May half term, National Children’s Gardening Week is encouraging families to Grow with Peter Rabbit!
Free limited edition Grow with Peter Rabbit activity booklets are now available for members to order and display in store during the week.
The aim of National Children’s Gardening Week is to inspire children’s curiosity, whilst the warm weather is a great time to see speedy results of seed sewing, planting and other gardening activities. The week promotes gardening to the general public and encourages garden centres across the UK to hold events throughout the week to connect a new generation with the joy of gardening.
Penguin Random House Children’s has launched a dedicated campaign to encourage families to Grow with Peter Rabbit and has carried out a nationwide survey, to demonstrate the importance of connecting children with gardening. The results of this survey will be published in mainstream national press just prior to National Children’s Gardening Week, encouraging families to head to their local garden centres to find the free Peter Rabbit activity packs.
