RHS Growing Gardeners family gardening range

RHS Growing Gardeners is a new family gardening concept. Building on the passion for gardening together that families discovered during lockdown, the range has been developed to make gardening with children easy and fun.

In an innovative step, the range of tools and accessories is backed by an online resource with family-friendly ideas, projects and inspiration from the trusted experts at the RHS.

The new RHS Growing Gardeners range has been created with two distinct users in mind: the adult, as well as the child. It’s the combination of knowledge and inspiration from the RHS for the parent or carer, with high-quality colourful tools and accessories for the child, which makes this range a completely new concept, unlike anything that’s previously been available.

Designed for age range 5-12, the range has been developed to appeal to all kinds of families, living in all kinds of homes. Whether a family has a large outdoor space, or is looking for an indoor windowsill project, the RHS Growing Gardeners range will spark their imagination.
The range takes an activity-based approach. The parent or carer can select a project from the online resource to suit their child and the time available - like sowing carrots or growing a sunflower - and choose the right tools and accessories. Growing Gardeners makes it easy to pick an activity, get the kit – and get gardening!

The range introduces a number of new and innovative ideas to help families get gardening together.

Link-a-Pot is a set of three plant pots with clear bases to show when the plant needs watering, helping families keep their plants healthy to give a positive growing experience. The pots can be linked together to form chains and shapes, and linked with additional sets.

A potting mat and tool bag is a clever dual-function design. It’s a handy way to store or transport tools, unzipping to form a 62 x 33cm potting mat, to keep tabletop or potting bench clean while gardening.

Finally, there’s a couple of sets of colourful garden stakes, in a choice of flower or veg designs, to mark out the child’s special patch in the garden, giving a sense of ownership and responsibility.

In tune with consumer expectations, the range has been created with sustainability front of mind. There are recycled materials; sustainable materials like bamboo; and recyclable card packaging. The durability of the tools and accessories lifts them out of the throwaway ‘sandpit tools’ category, instead offering a ‘buy once, buy right’ investment in lasting quality.

With the support of the online resource, these items make perfect gifts, and with RRPs from just £4.99 up to £22.99, there’s something here to suit every budget. Created to help every family enjoy spending time together with a positive, successful and creative gardening experience, this accessible and supportive range would be a unique and innovative winner in the ‘Children’s, Educational and Pre-school’ category.
