Easy, rewarding and safe plants for children include edible flowers – these can be quite the surprise, being flavoured and bright. Chives, for instance, with their, bright yellow honied pot marigolds and clove-like flavours of cornflowers – all are easy to grow in any reasonable soil in sun or shade from a May sowing.Sunflowers too have edible petals and are a firm favourite of children – not least as some are notably tall and fast growing.
Herbs have great potential as children’s plants – despite often not being particularly colourful – as they are so deliciously scented. Fennel, for example, is very vigorous withe and greeny-yellow flowers which are highly attractive. Mints – such as peppermint or pineapple mint – with their lush green, textured, scented leaves are prolific and don’t mind being heavily handled as children savour their crisp fresh scents.
Useful crops can be raised in pans, pots and trays filled with peat-free potting compost sowing the seeds about 2cm apart andIn the bright days of summer, crops can be gathered even from quite shady spots – in fact, texture and flavour are more delicate in light shade. Sow another small batch every week for continuity. Where space allows, they can be allowed to run to seed, with the seeds being usable for winter crops and for next year.
