I have a friend who is trying to make a wild area in his garden with his boys…he’s not a keen gardener and thankful of help off friends like me and certainly this would be fab for his sons to gift to him on Father’s Day.
My husband is always encouraging our grandchildren to join him in the garden. During lock down the little ones obviously haven’t been able to visit but my husband has been potting up his seedlings and delivering them to the grandchildren’s doorstep with instructions on how to look after them. Each week when he drops off more seedlings we notice how well they are looking after their plants. It’s lovely to see them getting so involved in gardening, even at a distance.
My dad and I recently got back in contact after 25 years and discovered we both have a shared love of gardens and wildlife. What better way to celebrate a new home life than to cultivate some homes for our little buzzing friends!
If Dads were flowers I’d always pick mine
He’s the best of the bunch like a well matured wine
He’s always the one on whom I can depend
Not only my Dad but my very best friend
Loving, kind & selfless he can’t do enough
Even though his life is so terribly tough
Mum has Alzheimer’s so it causes him distress
It’s very tiring as I’m sure you can guess
He loves to sit in his garden & watch the birds & the bees
So what could be more perfect than these
My husband usually works as a mobile optician in care homes. He was one of the first to lose work and he will probably be one of the last people back to work. But he’s been amazing at helping me homeschool our three children. He’s been reading aloud the Roald Dahl collection to them, he’s been teaching them maths and phonics, and he’s been teaching them all about wildlife and DIY. Over lockdown, in our garden he and my kids have created a nature pond, built and planted up raised beds and have built a wood store. My children will be heartbroken when normal life resumes. They love having their dad around, he’s an amazing guy.
