Because kids can

Watch the Kids bloom in the garden. Kids love learning to grow and nurture plants and sustain our ecology from an early age. This pays off in spades as they grow older contributing to positive physical and mental health.

Not only do young budding gardeners reap the benefit of breathing the outdoor air, but they also develop their hand-eye coordination, spacial skills, colour perception, olfactory and taste reception. For kids, the biggest indicator of nutrition and health in adulthood is the amount of time spent growing and learning about food, the diverse biosphere, and tasting food that they've helped grow.

With all the hallmarks of a big gardener's watering can, including the detachable, screw-on rose,  the Burgon & Ball insignia, and a "horty torty" British racing green enamel,  your child will feel pride and achievement in their garden patch using the Burgon and Ball Kids' watering can.

We love The Little Growers' gorgeously cut and stitched aprons.

Join The Little Growers community of small garden grubs, to create connectivity, develop healthy habits and an understanding of the earth from a young age.

Apart from being fun for kids, the research tells us that, even more than weekend sports and activities, the more time young children kids spend growing, harvesting and understanding food, the better their health will be over their lifetime.

Your child's school or pre-school may already have a vegetable or herb garden. Why not take the leap and get them excited about growing their own at home. They may teach you something. You don't need a big backyard, just a few pots for herbs to start with, or some raised planters for vegetables on the balcony. 

Depending on your council, you could grow your own on your nature strip and get your street involved. Share food scraps and compost and eventually real food from the earth where you live. 

The Little Growers' aprons are machine washable and are made from a 70% linen, 30% cotton fibre blend.

Sizing best for Ages 4-10

Also available in Vege Garden Print
