Gardening Workshops for Children
Get down to Dobbies for a fun-filled day out at one of our free gardening workshops (for children aged 4-10). By joining our workshops, your child will become a member of our Little Seedlings Club! Here, we help children and families to start growing, and encourage them to learn about wildlife, plants and the environment in our friendly group settings.
Every first Sunday of the month (and special school holiday clubs), we host our famous gardening workshops for you and your Little Seedling. As well as giving you lots of garden ideas for children that you can then follow at home, we teach a whole range of exciting and educational content, using activities and games to help each little seedling learn more.
Each attendee will be given a welcome pack containing fun stickers and a handy folder to store the activities each month. There’s also an attendance card and each child will receive a certificate after their third, sixth and twelfth workshops. So, why not sign up to one of our Little Seedlings workshops today?
Little Seedlings Club: November Workshop - Birds, Birds, Birds!
November’s Little Seedlings workshop is all about bird feeders, winter birds and how we can encourage them into our gardens. Children will discover how birds survive in winter, which foods give them the most energy, and why some foods should be avoided. They’ll also explore different types of bird feeders and learn simple ways to make gardens more bird-friendly in winter. The workshop includes an interactive sorting game where children decide which foods are safe for birds, as well as a hands-on activity to make their very own fat ball bird feeder.
Little Seedlings October Holiday Club: Garden Nights
For this Holiday Club workshop, our Little Seedlings will step into the magical world of gardens after dark. They’ll discover how our gardens transform when the sun goes down, from the creatures that wake up at night, to the smells and sounds we can notice with our senses.
