  • These ideas are amazing! Especially as a lot of them are things I can do with my kids. I’m really trying to get my kids in to gardening and this could be a great way to get them interested. I especially like the blackboard stencil design as they can each have a pot with their name on to work with.

    Thanks for sharing your ideas!
