Hello, Leah here with Newsround, live!

:00:00.:00:00.

The boys? world tour touches down in the UK tonight.

:00:00.:00:17.

First up, something we don't usually expect you to dig - gardening!

:00:18.:00:22.

But a recent report found that only one in five kids were connected to

:00:23.:00:26.

nature and the Royal Horticultural Society believe

:00:27.:00:28.

that gardening itself can help kids develop and learn important things

:00:29.:00:31.

When it comes to the group -- world of gardening, nobody does it better

:00:32.:00:54.

or is more famous for it than the Chelsea Flower Show in London.

:00:55.:00:57.

Thousands of people flocked here every year to see the gorgeous

:00:58.:01:01.

greenery and the people behind it, the Royal Hall trickle -- Royal

:01:02.:01:04.

Horticultural Society things gardening can teach children a lot

:01:05.:01:10.

more than just planting a few bulbs. Nowadays, fewer kids have access to

:01:11.:01:14.

green spaces. One school has taken the green fingers challenge to the

:01:15.:01:18.

next level. These kids from East London have built a green oasis

:01:19.:01:21.

amongst the surrounding concrete jungle. I found it really fun when I

:01:22.:01:28.

started gardening because I like the feel of the soil and looking at the

:01:29.:01:34.

seedlings in germination. Sometimes I like gardening more than playing

:01:35.:01:39.

in the playground. It helps me learn things I don't learn anywhere else

:01:40.:01:43.

and it's very fun because you can dig around. It's important because

:01:44.:01:47.

it gives people the opportunity to connect with nature. But can

:01:48.:01:52.

gardening help you learn skills for school? They are learning how to

:01:53.:01:56.

work as a team and how to nurture plants. We did a maths lesson where

:01:57.:02:01.

we build some new planters and they had to calculate how much soil went

:02:02.:02:05.

into the planters, so it was a lesson about volume. Not every

:02:06.:02:09.

school can afford a potting paradise. They need to spend money

:02:10.:02:13.

elsewhere and it can be expensive to start up, but with almost 20,000

:02:14.:02:18.

schools already involved in the campaign for school gardening,

:02:19.:02:21.

progress has been made. It's now much more likely that a green

:02:22.:02:24.

fingers project could be hitting a playground near you. Lovely.

:02:25.:02:31.

That's right a vehicle with no steering wheel or no brakes.

:02:32.:02:36.

Sounds like something from the future, right?

:02:37.:02:39.

Well, it may not be that far off because

:02:40.:02:42.

Google has announced it's going to start building self-driving cars.

:02:43.:02:48.

The company plans to build 100 vehicles, which will just

:02:49.:02:51.

Some people say driverless cars could reduce car crashes,

:02:52.:02:55.

but some researchers believe they could make traffic worse.

:02:56.:03:00.

He is the man with a hat behind one of the biggest songs in the past

:03:01.:03:08.

year, Farrell Williams, the producer of Happy has been talking about

:03:09.:03:11.

writing the song and how hard it was. How do you make a song about a

:03:12.:03:17.

guy that is so happy that it is basically relentless? I found that

:03:18.:03:23.

very difficult. I ended up writing nine different attempts, nine

:03:24.:03:26.

different songs to try and fit the scene and nothing worked, so I asked

:03:27.:03:34.

myself on the 10th time that the answer was in the question all
