Garden With Your Child!
Mindful Space advocates for the power of nature to bring families closer. During these Family Gardening sessions, parents and children will embark on a journey through their permaculture garden. It’s a hands-on experience where they’ll get their hands dirty planting, sowing, weeding, harvesting, and watering together.
A highlight of this adventure is the chance to interact with the garden’s fascinating inhabitants. Families can discover the world of earthworms, millipedes, and even the garden’s pest control brigade, including friendly lizards and dragonflies!
Fun and Educational Activities
These sessions are not just about gardening; they encompass learning and creativity as well. During the sessions, families will have the opportunity to:
- Make Their Own Biodegradable Pots: Craft biodegradable pots and take them home as delightful souvenirs.
- Experiment with Different Types of Soil: Explore the diverse world of soils and understand their importance in gardening.
- Explore Lasagna Transplanting: Learn the art of lasagna transplanting, a unique gardening technique.
- Be Adventurous with Composting: Dive into the world of composting and discover how it enriches the soil.
