Here's a selection of fun activities for you and your family...
 The Secret Garden competition
The Secret Garden film release has been delayed due to events. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) have therefore decided to extend the submission date for their Secret Garden competition.
The competition asks children to imagine they have discovered a Secret Garden and to either draw, paint or create a collage of plants, wildlife or other features that they might see.
The winner will have a chance to see their garden or elements of it brought to life in their community space. There are also opportunities to win a movie goody bag too. Good Luck!
 The Secret Garden origami
This step-by-step guide provides instructions on how to make your origami butterfly and includes textured paper designs to print and use.
 The Secret Garden activity sheet
This Secret Garden activity sheet contains a spot the difference activity, as well as anagrams, dot-to-dot, and a word search.
 Spotter guides from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS)
The RHS' school gardening campaign has developed activities to help you identify different tree leaves and spring flowers. It is designed to help participants both young and old explore their local natural environment and to identify and name common trees and plants.
 “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”
William Shakespeare
