Raised planters to grow veg with kids

7 replies

Does anyone have any recommendations for good raised planters to grow small plants/veg/herbs with my son? We have a wide ish side return that’s been fully decked by the previous owner and I’d love to put some raised planters in there so he can help me grow a few things.

There seem to be so many out there I’d love to know if anyone has types or places to avoid or ones to recommend.

Aldi have some planters and little tools for children atm. I get yourself down there pdq!

I bought a potting bench from them last week and am delighted with it.

@TonTonMacoutethat’s amazing! We have one fairly close to us so I shall pop in for sure this week. We don’t have a car - is it a bulky package?

I don't think so, I think you should be able to manage it for a short trip . Happy growing! It's such a fun thing to do with little ones.

@TonTonMacoute I picked up a planter for him today! Thank you for the tip. They didn’t have any of the tools in stock but I’m sure I can get them somewhere else. Bring on the sunflowers!
