Make little green steps

by Sarah Phillis
continued from page 2

Green fingers

You've got your composter and wormery and now you need to put them to good use, so why not set up an organic garden? www.gardenorganic.org.uk will be able to help you out.

Use your green star to take the family somewhere like The Vegetable Kingdom in Warwickshire. For more information see www.gardenorganic.org.uk and contemplate a great gift for any upcoming birthdays.

Delivery decisions

If the gardening lasts less time than it takes to dig a hole and you find yourself famished and don't fancy walking to the local shops, then organic fruit and veg delivery companies offer some very good boxes.

To encourage the kids to make the most of these, they can help you pick the selection and choose the recipes. This will give them an idea of how your time is used up, and perhaps inspire them into some home baking. It may give them inspiration to get back into the garden they left so willingly. See www.riverford.co.uk

Presents of mind

If you think your kids are budding explorers and environmentalists and you want to buy them a present that they'll enjoy all year round, you can't beat a subscription to National Geographic Kids, which will keep them well informed.

To order a subscription, call 0870 423 0684 and quote code NGK12. Alternatively, visit www.ngkids.co.uk or email ngkids@servicehelpline.co.uk
