PLAY BY NUMBERS

A hopscotch court surrounded by herbs creates a fragrant corner of fun for children in the early summer garden

As summer Beckons, children are often looking for things to do outdoors in the sunshine. The traditional game of hopscotch provides hours of enjoyment, and a court can be assembled easily, requiring few materials. Interspersed with sweet-smelling herbs, this outdoor court makes an attractive feature in the summer garden when not being played on.
