It's been a while since we have visited the Glasgow Botanical Gardens and of all the times we have been we have never really checked out the Children's Garden. It's not just a lovely space to explore but it's great to get children invovled in planting and growing which is something I really want to start getting the wee man invovled in. I got statements like "Wow mummy look at all the colours" and he cleverly found the apples. He happily popped in and out of the wendy house and ran through a vine tunnel. We played games of hide and seek and smelt most of the herbs and flowers. After a play at the park I was surprised at how happily he "ran" through the glass houses and actually occasionally stopped to notice what was there. The cacti were a big hit anyway "A bit sharp mummy" though sometimes I had to fight with him about collecting the stones. He definitely enjoyed seeing the fishes and was only a bit disappointed there were no more animals to see for example the elusive bear.

ReplyDeleteI haven't been to botanical gardens for years and I'd forgotten how much fun they can be. Your wee man looks like he certainly enjoyed himself. He just keeps getting more gorgeous every week :) I'm always guaranteed a smile when I look at pictures of him x
