You're never too young to develop a green thumb!

The Little Sprouts program gives kindy-aged children (have turned 4 to participate) an appreciation for nature and gardening through fun learning activities.

The fortnightly program is held at The Green Space in Edge Hill during the school term. With a focus on outdoor activities and messy play Little Sprouts sessions feature:

  • Gardening
  • Craft activities
  • Story time
  • Singing
  • Searching for bugs
  • Exploring our education garden.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Siblings are welcome to attend under supervision.

How to take part

Sessions are limited to 10 children. Places fill quickly so book early to ensure a place.

If you have younger children, check out our Little Taccas program for under 5s.
