We do it all of the time. The children have a digging space in the garden, they look for worms and other creatures, as well as making mud pies etc. They also have a growing space where they do gardening, they grow their own veg, one of my staff is a very keen gardener. We also replace the sand indoors with compost bought from a garden center. There is no health and safety risk if the children wash their hands afterwards and it's good for them to get dirty when they play from time to time. Go for it.
