Baby-proofing your garden
If you're lucky enough to have a yard, it will offer your child a chance to enjoy being outdoors and explore a new environment. However, yards can pose a number of hazards to small children, so making sure that they're secure and safe is vital.
The most important thing to ensure is that your child cannot get out and onto a road. Make sure all access gates can be securely locked and that fences are high enough to prevent her from climbing over.
Ponds and wate . . .
I don't think you need to clear your garden of roses, (definitely brambles though as they're a pain anyway!), it's nice to have a positive environment for baby and you can't make the garden 100% safe - the main thing is to be there when your child goes outside and keep an eye on them.
A really helpful reminder of the things to look out for in the garden - thanks
This is a really useful article, you hear of so many horror stories involving children and ponds or swimming pools.
