Dive into an exciting gardening adventure designed especially for curious children aged 6 to 12. Discover the fascinating world of worm farms and learn how these tiny creatures transform scraps into nutrient-rich compost that helps gardens thrive. Kids will get the unique opportunity to build their own worm farm using live worms, making science come alive in a fun and interactive way.
After exploring the magic of worms, children will plant and personalise their own Autumn-friendly herbs and vegetables. Each child will decorate a biodegradable pot, plant rocket, spring onions, or herbs, and create a label to take home. This hands-on activity encourages creativity and responsibility as they watch their plants grow through the seasons.
This workshop beautifully blends science, creativity, and a love of nature, making it a perfect school holiday activity that nurtures young minds and green thumbs.
