Can I just say that I can't even keep them alive in my kitchen and I leave them in the pots they come in from the supermarket!

lol .. me either! our own grown seedlings seem ok at the moment!

A great member suggestion for children's sensory learning is to put herb & aromatic plant sprigs into synthetic organza bags for the children to get a closer look at, touch/feel, smell, listen and where appropriate hold edible foods for taste.

It's hard to find a book that doesn't mention planning specifically for England's eyfs. These are a couple of titles you could use to guide play, learning & activity ideas
