Dobbies’ Swindon store has a fantastic line up of free workshops to inspire kids to get outdoors and discover the magic of nature during the school holidays.
This July, the popular Little Seedlings Club returns with a workshop exploring the wonders of water. Dobbies is also teaming up with DreamWorks to bring an extra special Gabby’s Dollhouse Summer Holiday Club workshop, for children to learn about gardening with Gabby and Kitty Fairy.
Little Seedlings Club is the free-to-attend kids gardening workshop that takes place every month in Dobbies’ Swindon store and covers a wide variety of seasonal topics.
July’s workshop will focus on the wonders of water in an interactive workshop where children will learn about where water comes from, its journey through the water cycle, and how ponds provide essential habitats for wildlife with demonstrations and activities to help bring their learning to life. Children will get the chance to take part in a hands-on creative craft activity to make their own pond habitat.
Alongside the monthly Little Seedlings Club, Dobbies has teamed up with DreamWorks to host a Gabby’s Dollhouse Summer Holiday Club workshop. During the workshop, children will step into Kitty Fairy’s garden to learn about the secret life of gardens, discover magical fairy garden stories, explore dandelion wishes and learn how to become nature guardians. The session will finish with children creating their own secret fairy garden door to take home.
Dobbies’ Plant Buyer, Nigel Lawton, said: “Gardening is a fantastic way for children to connect with nature, spark their curiosity and have fun outdoors. Through our Little Seedlings Club and the Gabby’s Dollhouse Summer Holiday Club workshops, we’re creating fun, hands-on experiences that introduce children to plants, wildlife and the environment, and help them learn a new skill.”
“Whether they’re learning how water helps gardens grow or creating their own magical fairy garden, these workshops are designed to inspire the next generation of young gardeners while showing that spending time outdoors can be lots of fun.”
