Farm Kids School Holiday Flowers Workshop

December 16th @ 9:30 am - 12:30 pm | $65 | ages 4 – 12yrs

We start the workshop with an educational, hands on and fun tour of The Farm where we specifically search for and focus our discussion on Flowers. We examine parts and purposes of flowers, we smell and taste edible flowers and learn about companion planting. In craft we make bath bombs using flower essences and homemade natural lip balm out of beeswax and honey.

What is included?

Farm Kids tour
At the beginning of each workshop we take the children on an educational and fun tour of The Farm. We educate them about our cows, pigs, bees, chickens, flower crops, herb garden, orchard and veggie crops. We discuss concepts like paddock rotation for the animals, pollination, organic farming, healthy soil and composting and other ethical farming practices. The children get up close and personal with our pet chickens and when available we taste veggies, edible flowers and herbs.
