FARM KIDS | MINI FARMERS | Term 4
Thursdays | 9am – 3pm | Ages 5–12
Event Description
Join us for an eight-week, hands-on Farm Kids Mini Farmers program exploring the colourful world of flowers, herbs, seeds and natural plant materials.
Across Term 4, children will explore real farm life through gardening, creative projects, sensory investigations and practical activities. From harvesting lavender and discovering pollinators to saving seeds, growing new plants, cooking with herbs and creating natural products, each week offers a new way to connect with the plants and ecosystems around them.
Learning is practical, playful and grounded in real farm experiences, with a focus on regenerative farming, sustainability and caring for the land. Children will build confidence, creativity and environmental awareness while developing a deeper understanding of how plants support our food, our wellbeing and a healthy planet.
Families can book individual sessions or enrol for the full term to receive a 30 percent discount.
