It’s been a very busy week in the Virtual Book Club Summer Camp Session 2: Garden Week!  I’m so thrilled to be hosting with Toddler Approved and Rainy Day Mum and sharing so many fun ideas together for our kid this summer.

If this has inspired you to jump into the Garden with your Kids we have tons of ideas to get you started! Check out our Kids in the Garden Posts  and be sure to follow our Gardening with Kids Pinterest Board
