Winter School Holidays at Queen Vic Market

  • Free

Join in a fun-filled gardening experience with Gardening 4 Kids at Queen Vic Market.

Little ones can let their creativity bloom as they plant organic sunflower seeds into biodegradable pots. They'll also get to decorate the pot, carry bag and bamboo plant label to make it uniquely theirs. Then they can take the potted seeds home and watch as beautiful sunflowers grow.

They can also get grubby with the Root Veggie Dig activity, searching for vegetables that grow underground – this exploration is perfect for young gardeners to discover the wonders beneath the soil.

Aall materials including gloves, tools, seeds, pots and more will be provided.
