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.
