Little Taccas
You're never too young to develop a green thumb!
The Little Taccas program, named after the tropical plant Tacca integrifolia, gives young children and appreciation for nature and gardening.
Aimed at children aged under five years, the fortnightly program in the Gardens features nature-based activities including art and craft, storytelling, sing-alongs and garden discovery walks.
The Little Taccas program is held fortnightly on Thursdays from 10am to noon. Children must be accompanied by a parent or care giver.
Numbers are capped at 15 children per session, with 5 stand-by positions.
Bookings are essential (see below).
