Graeme Jenkins, Dobbies CEO, said: “Our Little Seedlings Club is hugely popular across our stores, and we wanted to share some gardening activities for kids to do at home.

“Our programme offers a whole host of enjoyable and educational activities, and is a great way to get kids outside and into the garden.

Gardening is proven to boost our wellbeing and is a brilliant way to pass the time, and we hope that Little Seedlings at home will help inspire the next generation of gardeners.”
