At Mr Fothergill’s, we believe that gardening is much more than just planting seeds and watching them grow. It’s about nurturing relationships, creating lasting memories, and coming together as a family. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with The Children’s Society, a charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable children and young people across the UK.

This partnership, centred on the shared values of growing together and making meaningful memories, offers families a wonderful opportunity to connect over the joy of gardening while contributing to a cause that helps children who need support.

Growing Together: Gardening as a Family Activity

Gardening has always been a powerful way for families to bond, learn, and grow—literally and figuratively. Whether you’re experienced with a green thumb or just starting out, gardening invites us to slow down, be present, and spend quality time together. During the colder months, there are plenty of simple, family-friendly projects to dive into.

Why not create a winter garden together? Plant flower bulbs that will bloom in the spring, or grow festive flowers to bring a touch of holiday cheer to your home. If space is limited, an indoor herb garden is a great way to involve kids in growing fresh ingredients for family meals. Whatever you choose, these shared gardening experiences create moments of joy and connection.

Creating Family Traditions: Memories That Last a Lifetime

Gardening is not only about nurturing plants, it’s also about nurturing relationships. Families can make gardening a tradition that brings everyone together year after year. Imagine the excitement of watching the first seedling sprout or the pride in harvesting vegetable plants grown with little hands. These are the moments that stick with us and become cherished family memories.

Starting a new family tradition could be as simple as planting a tree to mark a special occasion or dedicating a part of the garden to grow something new each season. Each time you step into the garden, you’re not just creating something beautiful—you’re creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Supporting The Children’s Society: Growing Hope for Vulnerable Children

Through our partnership with The Children’s Society, we are not only encouraging families to grow together but also to give back. The Children’s Society works tirelessly to support vulnerable children across the UK, providing essential services to those facing challenges such as poverty, neglect, or exploitation.
