Young gardeners are being invited to discover the colours of autumn through a free hands-on workshop designed to help children learn about nature, wildlife and the changing seasons.
Dobbies Garden Centre in Birtley will host its latest Little Seedlings Club event on Sunday, September 6, offering a child-friendly introduction to the changing seasons, autumn wildlife, and nature’s preparations for winter.
Children will learn about the colours of autumn, explore how plants and animals adapt, take part in interactive games, and plant a daffodil bulb to take home and grow.
Hannah Stephen, Dobbies’ event programme manager, said: "September’s Little Seedlings Club is a great opportunity for children to embrace the changing season and discover how plants and wildlife adapt as autumn arrives.
"It’s a fascinating topic that encourages young minds to explore and appreciate the natural world around them.
