Childrens Gardening Club is a family or household based activity. One/two adults can bring up to 4 children. The children and the adults will work together to learn gardening skills of all sorts from planting to caring for the new shoots and the eventual harvesting of the crop. They will also learn about soil care, composting and a number of other key skills. Care for the chickens and our rabbits will be part of our time together. We will learn about the bees and their role in a healthy vegetable or flower garden.
Our first 10 week club programme starts on April 23rd. You may be able to join after that but we are limiting the number of children to approx 12 per session so we may be full. (We recognise that families/households may have to miss a session here and there and that is not a problem. There may be other reasons also – as long as we know it helps us plan well for each week.)
How much does it cost?
We are offering the club as a donation based activity during this first set of 10 sessions. The suggested donation is £5 per session for up to 3 people, large or small and £10 for up to 6 people per session, large or small. The Gather Community Garden is a project of a registered charity, Gather Collective. All your donations will go to help pay the cost of the sessions and support the work of the Community Garden.
You can pay for each session on the day using cash or via contactless card payment at reception
The club has two age groups
3-6 year olds – 9.30am (Session lasts for one hour)
7-11 year olds – 11.00am (Session lasts for one hour)
What will you need to wear/bring?
Children and adults will need to be ready for muddy conditions at times. We will give you much more information nearer the time
