Putting Gardening at the Heart of Global Childhood Education

Packed with fun, achievable activities, this book will guide you in helping children discover the joy of gardening, one tiny seed at a time.

Hi, I’m Lee Connelly

I’m the leading children’s gardening educator, a gardening TV presenter, podcaster, and House of Lords expert on school gardening policy. Known as “The King of Kids’ Gardening”, my mission is to inspire families to grow together and make real memories through gardening.

My work spans Europe, America, and Japan, with international show gardens, documentaries, and large-scale school programmes.

You may have seen me on CBBC’s Blue Peter, BBC Teach, BBC Radio 1, or heard my Sunday Times–top-rated podcast. I’m also the author of How to Get Kids Gardening and have become a Horticultural hero, awarded by Gardens Illustrated.

From transforming gardens to delivering workshops, filming documentaries, creating global green spaces, and pushing gardening to the extremes, I’m dedicated to making gardening fun, adventurous, and accessible for every child.

The biggest, most elaborate, most extreme and downright magical children’s gardening show ever to hit the stage. From theatre venues to major garden shows, there’s genuinely nothing else like it anywhere in the world. With Lee Connelly’s brand new tour, Magic of Gardening, expect wild demonstrations, jaw-dropping moments, and a whole lot of fun as gardening comes to life in ways you’ve never seen before. This is one show you absolutely won’t want to miss.
