As soon as our youngsters are old enough to help out in the garden they, invariably, want to.  I know I did and all of my children did; then there comes a time when that wears off, so I'd make the most of it while you can!

I remember being given a little square of ground in our garden, when I was little, and being SO chuffed when my first marigolds flowered and my first radishes sprouted - it was just awesome.

If you have a little one with itchy green fingers then you might want to take a look at this In the Night Garden gardening set, it's rather cute and perfectly sized for allowing little ones to get their hands dirty.

It comes with a trowel, rake, gloves, seeds, planters, apron, spinner game and a gardening bag; everything is brightly coloured and features everyone's favourite In the Night Garden characters too.

I love gardening (when I've got the time) and I have very clear recollections of wanting to help my mum in the garden when I was little and finding all of the tools too big and heavy.

If you have a budding Percy Thrower - oh hang on, if you're younger than me you might not have a clue who Percy Thrower is (the first real celebrity TV gardener, the man who started it all and a genius when it came to all things green) - let me try again:  if you have a budding Alan Titchmarsh (better?) then you might want to take a quick look at this kid's gardening tool set.

It comes with a broom, rake, spade trowel and a 12 cell propargator for bringing starting off your seeds or little seedlings.  The spade handle height is 94cm, the rake's is 79cm and the broom has a handle height of 70cm - nice and little for little people.

You can, if you've got more money than sense, arrange to have Argos to deliver your kid's gardening tool set to your home for £5.95, or you can reserve and collect in-store for free.

Gardening runs in my family; my granddad was an avid gardener and I loved messing around in his potting shed.

My mum also has incredibly green fingers and every year we can look forward to home-grown strawberries, potatoes, carrots, runner beans and beetroot to name just a few of the things she grows.

I remember being really chuffed when she gave me a little patch of garden, to have as my own mini allotment, when I was about five.

It's not just me, all kids love to help out in the garden but it can be tricky for them trying to get to grips with big grown-up tools.

This little In the Night Garden gardening set is perfectly sized for allowing little ones to get their hands dirty.

It comes with a trowel, rake, gloves, seeds, planters, apron, spinner game and a gardening bag.

Everything is brightly coloured and features everyone's favourite In the Night Garden characters.

• Get busy in the garden with your little helpers

I love seeing my daughter in the garden, and love how enthused she gets about digging around and ‘helping out’. I’m not sure what remains of our veggie patch shares my enthusiasm, but still, it’s great for her. I’m really keen on the thought of creating a ‘magic garden’ kind of space for her – but for the one in my imagination I’ll need a garden about six times bigger than what we have.

In the meantime, however, 25% off gardening items is useful for giving her something of her own to potter about with. There are green and pink kid’s trowel and forks for £2.25 each. Gardening gloves come in at £2.24, while there’s also a child sized wheelbarrow for £12.74 – although that only has 15% off.

You could even go the whole hog, and buy the Peppa Pig Garden Tool set (sorry, couldn’t help myself) for £9.74. This includes a watering can, four plant pots, labels, a trowel, a hoe, a fork and a rake and a caddy for storing it all in.

And then, for the final touches of magic and enjoyment, once all the hard work is done, you can add windmills, ornaments and even a bird feeder – starting at £1.49 – to your child’s garden.

This lovely Chad Valley Six Piece Children's Gardening Set from Argos is less than half price at £2.99, down from £7.99.

• Grow your green fingers with a six piece children's gardening set

Okay, so I don't have a green finger within a mile of me, but my dad can spend hours and days in his garden, and dinners at my parents usually include a beautiful fresh salad directly from the garden. I think this set is gorgeous, and I can just see my daughter pottering about in the garden with her grandfather, and with any luck she can single-handedly reduce our grocery bill.

The set includes a green watering can, green and blue gloves and a metal pot, with three flowery plant markers.

The watering can is (H)26, (W)10, (D)20cm, the metal pot is (H)10.4, (W)12cm and the plant markers are (H)18, (W)15.5cm.

The Chad Valley Six Piece Children's Gardening set is made of galvanized metal, cotton fabric and wood, and it's all supplied fully assembled and has a two year manufacturer's guarantee, which is pretty good for children's toys.

Although the description says this set is for children 6 years and over, a five star reviewer said her 4-year old loved it. She says, “This little pack is excellent for little ones who want to get involved in the garden. Although it says for 6 years and over my 4 year old loves it. Can't believe how cheap it was for the quality."

I love it and think it's the perfect timing with Spring just around the corner, and such a great price too.
