National Children’s Gardening Week partners with The World of Peter Rabbit™ in 2024
25 May – 2 June 2024
Save the date! National Children’s Gardening Week will again be partnering with THE WORLD OF PETER RABBIT™ from 25 May to 2 June 2024.
This May half term, National Children’s Gardening Week is encouraging families to Grow with Peter Rabbit! There will be free Grow with Peter Rabbit activity booklets available for HTA members to order and give away in store for families to take home – packed full of mischievous and fun indoor and outdoor activities for them to enjoy this National Children’s Gardening Week.
The aim of National Children’s Gardening Week is to inspire children’s curiosity, whilst the warm weather is a great time to see speedy results of seed sewing, planting and other gardening activities. The week promotes gardening to the general public and encourages garden centres across the UK to hold events throughout the week to connect a new generation with the joy of gardening.
Peter Rabbit has been getting up to mischief since his early adventures in Mr. McGregor’s garden in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, the Tale was first published in 1902 by Frederick Warne & Co. (Beatrix Potter’s publisher and owner of THE WORLD OF PETER RABBIT) and has sold over 46 million copies around the world.
