Little Sprouts
You're never too young to develop a green thumb!
The Little Sprouts program gives kindy-aged children (have turned 4 by 30 June 2023) 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 superivision.

The Little Sprouts program could not operate without the dedicated support of our volunteers and we are always looking for further assistance.
Little Sprouts volunteers are fully supported by the Green Space Our Place program.
