Children and gardens can be quite a vexed issue, both from the gardener’s perspective and from the child’s. On the one hand, footballs crashing through the borders, bald or muddy patches on the lawn, trees damaged by climbing or swinging from the branches, shortcuts taken through hedges, fruit canes denuded before any of the fruit can get to the kitchen can all make you tear your hair out.
