Join a fun-filled morning at Wollongong Botanic Garden where children can immerse themselves in nature-inspired play and creativity. This event encourages little ones to get their hands dirty and spark their imagination through engaging activities.
Kids will enjoy nature games and hands-on gardening workshops designed to connect them with the outdoors. It’s a wonderful chance for children to learn new skills while having fun in a safe, natural environment.
Activities are tailored for children aged 4 to 7 years, and all children must be accompanied by an adult to ensure a supportive and enjoyable experience.
Participants will explore nature games that inspire creativity, including making mud pies and other mud creations. They will also take part in a gardening workshop where each child builds their own mini self-watering veggie garden using a wicking system to take home and nurture.
The event runs for two hours, providing ample time for children to engage deeply with each activity and enjoy the garden surroundings.
