Parent & Toddler- Seasonal Gardening Club

" May I grow so tall and bright,

So free and wild,

So Brave and Vibrant,

That when you see me standing, You think I am a sunflower"

- Gaby Comprés.

T his monthy themed gardening club is suitable for parents with toddlers(ages 1-4) -fun, practical, and nature connected in everyway! A great first step into the great outdoors, while also giving parents the opportunity to socialise with other parents over a coffee.

T he Victorian Walled Gardens offers a safe and friendly space for little toddlers to find their own way, especially if shy. There are lots of nooks and crannies for little ones to feel at ease, create their own adventures and make friends. We encourage all the toddlers to bring along their own Teddy Bear to help us with your gardening on the day.
