The Royal Horticultural Society is inviting families to uncover the World on Your Windowsill this February half term, with a week of fun family activities at each of the five RHS Gardens.
From designing your own pot to interactive storytelling walks with Garden Detectives, or growing your own Marimo pet, creative half-term events at the gardens are jam-packed with gardening activities, crafting, and the chance to leave with handmade items that will brighten up the home and the week off school or work.
Visitors will gain inspiration about growing indoors while spending valuable family time together surrounded by nature. Each of the gardens also has dedicated play areas and some have gardens specifically for children, ensuring a full, fun-packed day out.
