This engaging workshop invites children aged 8 to 12 to unleash their creativity by painting their own terracotta pots. Alongside this artistic activity, they will plant a native Australian flower to take home, nurture, and watch grow, fostering a connection with nature.
Children will enjoy a relaxed, self-paced session that combines fun with learning, including interesting facts about gardening and native flora. It’s a perfect way to keep kids entertained and inspired during the school holidays.
Carers are welcome to join and support their children, though registration is only required for the participating kids.
