In this episode we are talking about how to keep a toddler busy in a garden, with Susan Hodkin from Two Dots Garden.
This conversation explores the joys and challenges of gardening with children, emphasizing the importance of allowing kids to engage with nature in a relaxed and playful manner.
Susan grew up doing a lot of gardening, her Dad grew vegetables at the top of the garden, and she spent many hours out in the garden in her childhood. As an adult she came back to it when she got an allotment with her Dad just before she had her first child Dot. She started taking her up there when she was tiny and then when the pandemic hit the allotment became an essential outdoor sanctuary.
Susan started an Instagram feed about their adventures which grew a loyal audience with lots of gorgeous photos of their food growing, fun and play. This interview took place a couple of years ago when the podcast was originally planned and her daughter was only three she gave us some tips for all of us on keeping a toddler amused in the garden for so many hours and what life skills she thinks can be learned in a garden.
