TESTIMONIAL - DO NOT DELETE

“We absolutely LOVE our mud and bloom boxes. We are a home educating family and follow a seasonal nature curriculum and go to weekly forest school sessions and the activities in these boxes compliment this beautifully. We often take them out with us and complete the activities in the woods, fields and gardens that we visit every week! They really bring learning about nature to life!”

Lucy Davies

“We loved our first box. We had massive excitement when my son realised the box was for him. The contents are well presented and the wrapped items were opened with glee. The little stone mushroom was carried around all day. The instructions are easy to follow and you don't need a lot of extra kit, unless you want to. The expanding pellets were 'magic' to my two year old. We're gathering bits for our miniature garden next. We can't wait for our next box. Thank you Mud & Bloom”

Fiona Cresswell

“My 4 and 6 year old’s faces light up when our monthly box arrives...and so does mine! It’s well worth the money and we love the planting, experimenting and crafting! The quiz helps us to be more aware when out and about too”

The boys were extremely excited to find LOTS of frogspawn in our little pond this afternoon! Which I thought was quite early, normally we don’t see any until March. Have you seen any yet? We’ll be watching it closely, as it only takes around three weeks for the tadpoles to hatch #frogspawn #wildlife #mudandbloom

These pretty narcissus or mini daffodils started opening up in our garden this week. Lots of other shoots have been pushing through the soil. We planted so many bulbs in the autumn, I can’t actually remember what all of them were or where they were all planted, so it’s exciting to see what’s appearing 😊#springflowers #narcissus #gardeningwithkids #mudandbloom
Have you ever had a living willow structure in your garden? I think they're so pretty and it's something I definitely plan to do for my children at some point. Now is the time to plant them. This one was created by Bristol based gardener @pips_garden, she built one for my sons kindergarten and the children loved it. You can read how she makes them on her website, link in her profile @pips_garden #livingwillow #childrensgarden #willowstructure
Our little girl is 11 months old! Here she is watching her brothers playing, she doesn’t really crawl but she bum shuffles everywhere and she’s into everything! She absolutely loves being out under the trees, I was the same apparently #11monthsold #babiesinnature #connectingkidstonature
