This month’s Little Seedlings workshop is all about super sunflowers.  With spring around the corner and sunny days ahead, sunflowers are the perfect sunny plant to learn about.  Plus March is the ideal time to plant sunflowers!

We'll cover:

  • The symbolism of sunflowers
  • The history of sunflowers (their origin and name)
  • Why sunflowers are important for our gardens and wildlife
  •  Edible sunflowers and how we can use them in recipes       
  • Taste testing sunflower seeds
  •  Sunflowers in space and what they need to survive
  •  Planting a sunflower
  • Art inspired by sunflowers

Please note: 

  • Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian
  • Where stores are running multiple sessions it is the same workshop delivered at each one
  • Parents or guardians wishing to order hot drinks for the session in advance can do so during the booking process
