​​Watching my kids marvel at the wonder of nature brings me so much joy, so we try to spend as much time outdoors as we can. Whether we're wild wandering, gardening, crafting, forest schooling or simply playing, you can guarantee our beloved wellies will be close at hand. They are always our footwear of choice and we are definitely happiest in wellies!

​

Growing our own fruit and veg is one of our favourite hobbies. Having the chance to connect with nature a little bit every day, as well as getting creative in the kitchen to sample our own home-grown delights is a real joy for the whole family. And the little ones absolutely love it.

 

I'm Heidi. I’m a teacher, writer, designer, gardener, lover of the outdoors and devoted Mum to two wild-hearted nature-loving kids. I’ve been growing veg at home for over 20 years, and with children (in schools and at home) for 11 years. I'm not an expert, far from it. I'm a hobby gardener trying out new things and learning along the way. 

 

I started this blog with a mission to bring the joys of gardening and outdoor learning to families everywhere. I took some time out from it while life happened, but I’m back with my wellies on, ready to do 'stuff'.​

If, like, me, you’re always looking for fun stuff to do with the kids, that gets the kids outside and encourages them to be active and creative, then you're in the right place.

Thanks for being here. I hope you enjoy my blogs and activities, but most of all, I hope it inspires you to get your wellies on and get outside.
