Dobbies Garden Centre in Hyde Road s is celebrating National Children’s Gardening Week with a Children’s Planting and Afternoon Tea experience on Saturday 31 May.
This year’s National Children’s Gardening Week aims to inspire children’s curiosity in gardening and celebrate the fun that gardens hold for young people.
It runs from 24 May to 1 June, and the warmer weather means children can see the immediate results of sowing, planting and other gardening activities.
The Children’s Planting and Afternoon Tea experience is a 90-minute event in the Swindon store that gives children the chance to explore their creativity, and the Dobbies’ Green Team will encourage them to use their imagination while creating their very own planted container, with seasonal plants and flowers in a themed animal pot, to take home and look after.
After this, they will make their way to the restaurant for a Children’s Afternoon Tea that features three tiers of sweet and savoury delights, including Dobbies’ famous scones.
