Parents & Tots - Sowing & Growing Sessions

Are you on maternity leave and want to get outdoors with bubs? Perhaps Tuesdays are your day off with the littles and you're stuck for ideas as to where to take them? Join us every Tuesday for our Parents & Tots Sowing & Growing Sessions. This event is mainly a social event to allow us parents to connect in a safe environment with our little people in tow, with the added benefits of growing our own food and teaching our tiny people how to sow and grow, while boosting our mental health.

Since giving birth to my two tiny people and with the development of my farm around my day job, I've always found it hard to find any social time. And then it dawned on me that some of the best catch ups with friends and family over the last few years have been up on our farm and outdoors with our little people, and so I wanted to share our space with those of you who may be struggling to get out of the house postpartum or those of you who are simply looking for a safe space for you and your little peeps to spend some quality time together growing fruit and veggies, and playing outdoors. Sowing and growing is a part of my every day tasks up the farm and so I hope you can all join me in doing what I love.

£4.00 per session (+ Eventbrite booking fee) and child admission is free. Unlimited tea, coffee, squash and refreshments. Your fee shall also cover the expense of seeds, compost and pots. You will be able to take home all seeds that you sow to begin your growing journey with your little people. For the cost of a Costa coffee, get more bang for your buck and join our parents and tots social club every Tuesday. We know that days don't always go as planned with tiny people, so no block booking required. Simply pay per session on the days that you can join us.

Limited spaces per session (up to 8 adults and 2 children per adult). Child age limit is 5 years. It is advised that children who will be handling compost or soil have their 6-in-1 infant vaccinations, as these cover Tetanus which although rare, can be found in organic matter.
