Dobbies' Little Seedlings Club provides a fun and engaging environment for children to learn about plants, wildlife, and the environment. The August workshop, Show and Tell and Growing, includes a demonstration by Dobbies' colleagues who will guide children through the various stages of growth, from a tiny seedling to flourishing adult plant.
The session covers the importance of plants, with Dobbies’ colleagues sharing hints and tips on how to grow strong and healthy plants. Children will also discover the different parts of the plant and their roles, like the vital function of roots in absorbing water and nutrients. They'll also explore the diverse habitats where plants can grow.
In celebration of the children’s efforts at home, the workshop will have a special show and tell session. Children are encouraged to bring a plant they have been growing and nurturing at home, ideally a mature example, to share their green-fingered achievements with the group.
Hannah McAtamney who delivers Little Seedlings Club workshops at Dobbies’ Antrim store said: "Our Little Seedling Club workshops are really popular with families across the UK, and we can’t wait to take kids on a journey of discovery by exploring the lifecycle of plants, and the benefits and importance of gardening and growing. We’re looking forward to seeing some of the plants they are growing at home, and we know they will be excited to show them off too! By encouraging kids to connect with nature at a young age, we hope to inspire the next generation of gardeners."
