Hello!
I’m not a gardening guru at all.
I’m an allied health professional working in paediatric mental health. I have an 8 year old who is really struggling. He loves gardening. I’m lucky enough to work somewhere we have a garden outside.
I’m thinking of planting a flower with the child and have us tending to it during sessions. I’m hoping it’ll be something for him to look forward to, and also maybe teach a bit of resilience if things don’t go right…
So I’m asking for advice on what to plant? I’m in Adelaide. Anything that will grow relatively fast and withstand the elements?
Sorry if I’m asking for a unicorn!
Thanks so much in advance.
