Just interested in other people's experiences. When DS was really little I would put him in his buggy while I was gardening - the only problem was that I would be up to my elbows in mud when he would need attention. As he has grown older (now almost 3) we have had lots of fun planting things. The problem is that for every plant planted, there is an equivalent amount of compost distributed on grass/around pot, and he does like to unplant things and replant them. He is great at watering - his feet - and is definitely of the create a mud bath school of container cultivation. He is quite good at helping to fill bags of leaves, but he is better at emptying them. My experience has therefore been that gardening is lots of fun with children aslong as you don't actually require anything bourgeois like a garden with flowers in it.
