Preparation
* Make a sign with the children, with a name of their choice for the garden centre.
* Set up the role-play garden centre with a 'way in', an 'exit' and a cash point. Create sections - an area with tables for indoor plants, one for seeds, bulbs and outdoor plants, another for gardening supplies and a 'nursery' in a sand tray in which the children can re-pot plants.
