Little Sprouts
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.

Registrations for the 2026 Term 2 program are now open.

Volunteer
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.
If you are interested in sharing your love of nature with young residents, please complete an application and we will be in touch.
