From sunflowers to strawberries and potatoes to pumpkins, pre-schoolers can discover how to sow and grow a range of plants at our fortnightly gardening club.
We'll discover more about wildlife and how to help insects thrive by making butterfly feeding stations and a wormery. At each session children will also be able to have a go at watering, weeding and making sure all the plants are happy.
Regular attendance also offer the opportunity to build new friendships.
These sessions are suitable for pre-school aged children.
Location and Accessibility
Each event will take place at the Chatsworth Stickyard, which is based in Stand Wood near the entrance to the farmyard and adventure playground.
There is a fairly steep incline up a paved pathway to reach the venue – please contact education@chatsworth.org if you have any access requirements or require a carer ticket.
