Garden centres and nurseries across the UK are set to inspire the next generation of young gardeners during National Children’s Gardening Week, running from 24 May to 1 June 2025. This half-term, families are invited to head outdoors andGrow with Peter Rabbit as part of a fun-filled week of gardening-themed activities.

Building on the success of previous years, National Children’s Gardening Week is once again teaming up with The World of Peter Rabbit™ to bring the joy of gardening to children of all ages. Not only will there be free digital Grow with Peter Rabbit activity booklets packed full of mischievous and fun activities available to download, but a range of events will also take place across the UK to encourage children to explore the wonder of gardening.

Events include Swarkestone Nursery in Derby hosting a free bee hunt, Jealotts Hill Community Landshare in Bracknell hosting a spring into summer fete, Plantsplus Garden Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne holding a children’s gardening club - Budding Botanists, and Kershaws Garden Centre in West Yorkshire will host Paint a Pot and free seed planting.
