A Guide to Gardening Development Wheel
For parents, carers, and practitioners, the A Guide to Gardening Development Wheel is a compact, interactive child development tool that helps you plan, plant, and nurture green spaces. Written by early years advisors and practitioners, it features nine easy-reference sections on everything from getting started to a seasonal gardening calendar, plus a special children’s section to encourage safe, hands-on learning.


Practical Tips for Growing and Learning with the Gardening Development Whee
The A Guide to Gardening Development Wheel was created to help you navigate the essential tasks, terms, and tools needed for both home and early years settings. Split into nine sections, this moveable wheel reveals information on both sides, covering key areas such as planning, planting, and basic gardening terminology. There’s also a children’s section to encourage them to learn about gardening safely and enjoyably.
Whether you’re a parent, student, or nursery staff member, this resource is designed to make gardening accessible. At approximately 230mm in diameter, it’s easy to carry around and reference on the go. Each section outlines the activities or considerations you’ll need for that aspect of gardening, from choosing the right tools to understanding seasonal tasks.
The content has been developed by practitioners and early years advisors to ensure it meets the needs of those who want a clear, informative guide. Learn more about how we created a wide variety of Development Wheels™ by visiting our Background page.
