What’s A Compostarium?

I watched Mr Bloom’s Nursery when it was aired on CBeebies; my grandson likes watching the talking vegetables.

The gardener Mr Bloom is played by Ben Faulks.

                                                   

Mr Bloom wears a trilby hat and wellies and welcomes children to his allotment to help tend his plants and vegetables; he calls the children Tiddlers.

It’s a brilliant children’s programme, it encourages planting and shows how to recycle vegetable products by using a compost bin that Mr Bloom calls his a Compostarium!

                                          

The veggies; Colin the runner bean, Raymond the butternut squash, Joan the fennel, Margaret the cabbage, Sebastian the aubergine and a group of mischievous radishes called the MacGregors are introduced in the song 'Meet The Veggies,' sung by Mr Bloom; it’s very catchy.

                                          

My favourite character is Mr Bloom he’s very entertaining and informative.

This is a great educational programme that encourages planting and recycling. It also shows how to look after plants and vegetables.

It’s definitely worth watching, the children will love it.

In my opinion, it’s a great programme for grown-ups too!

My final thought; if I sing to my veggies do you think they will grow any quicker?

What do you think?
