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 an 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).

The Little Taccas program could not operate without the dedicated support of our volunteers and we are always looking for further assistance.
Little Taccas 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.
