  • I visited Lara Honnor at her Skool Beanz garden at the Royal Bath & West show ground. Lara and all her volunteers have worked so hard over the past week, with a tiny budget.
    We explore their creation of a wonderful colourful and plant filled garden, for children and parents to enjoy over the course of the show.
    The Royal Bath and West Show runs from 30th May to 1st June. Tickets are available via the website www.bathandwestshowground.com/...
    Included in the garden are all the elements Lara finds important to really engage with children.
    * Beautiful no dig veg beds
    * Polytunnel - for rainy days
    * Upcycled containers and artworks
    * Muddy Buddy compost heap
    * Rainwater collection
    * Quiet garden
    * Secret Den
    Lara's permanent Skool Beanz garden is at an allotment site in Chilthorne Domer just on the outskirts of Yeovil. She runs a children's gardening club and offers adult courses for those who would like to create their own children's garden. Her website is www.skoolbeanzcic.com
    Last summer we visited the garden and you can find the video we made below.

    Laras infectious enthusiasm is an inspiration to us all. Children are in safe hands for the future when we have people like this. I’m doing a children’s garden project soon so this is so helpful. Thank you again for sharing this. ❤

    Pleasant chat and great little teaching garden. I’d make one suggestion, to use only natural nontoxic paints and materials around food plants. It’s not gona be as bright and long lasting, but I actually like pastels. They have a nice calmness to it.

    My beetroot has started to bolt already! The variety is golden burpees, multi sown in February and planted out in March. I've never seen this before, normally they flower on year two if left in the ground. And all crimson broad beans not making pods but superaguadulce all are? Unusual year with all this rain... Any ideas?
