Little Seedlings Club Workshop: The Power of Plants

If you are looking for a way to get the kids out of the house on the first Sunday of the month, the Little Seedlings Club is hosting their next workshop on May 3, 2026. This time, the session is titled The Power of Plants, and it focuses on the basics of plant life cycles. It is a practical, hands-on activity where children can learn about how plants grow, specifically looking at peas and other pod-bearing varieties. The workshop covers how flowers turn into pods, how these plants climb, and even touches on more unusual topics like carnivorous plants, self-protecting species, and medicinal plants. It is a straightforward educational session designed to give children a better understanding of how the natural world functions.

The event is taking place at various Dobbies locations, including the branches in Brighton on Warren Road and Stockton on Yarm Road. Because this is a national initiative, it is worth checking if your local store is participating. The activity itself is free to attend, though it is important to note that booking in advance is mandatory. These sessions tend to fill up quickly, and if a specific time slot shows as 'Sold Out' on their website, there are no additional spaces available. During the booking process, parents also have the option to reserve hot drinks if they would like to have something while they wait.

It is a requirement that all children are accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the workshop. The practical element of the day involves planting some calming lavender, which the children will be able to take home with them afterwards. It is a simple, structured activity that keeps the focus on learning about plant biology in a way that is accessible for younger participants. If you are planning to go, it is best to secure your spot through the official Dobbies website as soon as you can to ensure you get a place.
