Dobbies' Derby store is offering a fantastic line-up of free workshops to inspire children to get outdoors and discover the magic of nature during the school holidays. This July, the popular Little Seedlings Club returns with a workshop exploring the wonders of water. Dobbies is also teaming up with DreamWorks to bring an extra special Gabby's Dollhouse Summer Holiday Club workshop, where children can learn about gardening with Gabby and Kitty Fairy.
Little Seedlings Club: The Wonders of Water
The Little Seedlings Club is a free-to-attend children's gardening workshop that takes place every month at Dobbies' Derby store, covering a wide variety of seasonal topics. July's workshop will focus on the wonders of water in an interactive session. Children will learn where water comes from, its journey through the water cycle, and how ponds provide essential habitats for wildlife. The workshop includes demonstrations and activities to bring learning to life, and children will get to take part in a hands-on creative craft activity to make their own pond habitat.
Gabby's Dollhouse Summer Holiday Club
Alongside the monthly Little Seedlings Club, Dobbies has teamed up with DreamWorks to host a Gabby's Dollhouse Summer Holiday Club workshop. During this session, children will step into Kitty Fairy's garden to learn about the secret life of gardens, discover magical fairy garden stories, explore dandelion wishes, and learn how to become nature guardians. The session concludes with children creating their own secret fairy garden door to take home.
Inspiring the Next Generation of Gardeners
Nigel Lawton, Plant Buyer at Dobbies, said: “Gardening is a fantastic way for children to connect with nature, spark their curiosity and have fun outdoors. Through our Little Seedlings Club and the Gabby's Dollhouse Summer Holiday Club workshops, we're creating fun, hands-on experiences that introduce children to plants, wildlife and the environment, and help them learn new skills. Whether they're learning how water helps gardens grow or creating their own magical fairy garden, these workshops are designed to inspire the next generation of young gardeners while showing that spending time outdoors can be lots of fun.”
