Winter has arrived... 

And Ricky, Hannah and Sam have pulled out their brightly coloured scarves and gloves to keep out the cold.

Why not visit 23 Lavender Garden to find some exciting activities to do when its cold outside. You can make some delicious Carrot Cookies to share with your friends or make a simple Reindeer Flower Pot using planting pots of all shapes and sizes. There are also 10 things to spot in the garden this winter.
