If your gardening kit is due an update Lowe's is handing out free gardening kits throughout April. If you are looking to keep your little ones busy with some exciting garden activities for kids, here is how to get your hands on one.

The project is part of the store's 'SpringFest' celebration to encourage families to make their backyards into the perfect getaway this spring. Lowes will be handing out family project kits at the store on the curbside starting on April 8.

'Over the past year, our homes have transformed and supported us in more ways than we could have imagined. This spring, home can evolve, yet again, to be a creative outlet and the ultimate destination,' says Marisa Thalberg, Lowe’s executive vice president, chief brand, and marketing officer.'

'Through SpringFest and our invitation to take a Hometrip, we’re making the best of spring available so our customers can transport themselves without ever leaving the sanctuary of home.'

Our outdoor spaces have become incredibly important to us over the last year. Research by Lowes found that 85 percent of people say their home has become their sanctuary as we're spending more time at home. A further 70 percent said they wouldn't be traveling this spring, making it the perfect time to keep busy in the yard or completing home improvement projects.

Plus with the outdoor one of the safest places to meet up with friends and family, 55 per cent of homeowners said they have been inspired to upgrade their outdoor entertaining. The Garden-to-Go kits are inspired by activities you can do together as a family, and reap the benefits for weeks, even years after.
