Get ready for a fun and educational experience where your child will dive into the world of plants and environmental care. This workshop encourages kids to get their hands dirty while learning about the importance of native plants and sustainability.
Children will create their own seed bombs using wild clays, compost, and seeds, which they can take home to nurture and watch grow. This is a wonderful opportunity for young environmental warriors to connect with nature in a creative way.
The session is led by artist and plant scientist Erika Watson, ensuring a blend of scientific knowledge and artistic creativity.
