Home Education Workshops for Learners aged 5–16 years

RHS Garden Harlow Carr is running a series of home education workshops for children aged 3 to 16, based in the Bramwell Learning Centre and out in the grounds. They're built for home-schooling families, with sessions tailored to each key stage so young people can learn practically, outdoors, and experience plants and the garden first-hand. The workshops run in the centre and outside in the gardens, and garden admission is included in the booking.

There's a session for almost every age group over the coming months. The youngest go first: ages 3–5 have a session on 18 November. Ages 5–7 have five dates to choose from — 21 October, 9 December, 3 February, 14 April and 12 May. Ages 8–11 have five as well: 21 October, 18 November, 9 December, 12 May and 14 July. And for the older ones, ages 11–16, there are four dates: 21 October, 13 January, 10 March and 14 April.

Each day has two slots: morning sessions from 10am to 11.30am and afternoon sessions from 12.30pm to 2pm. They're free for up to two people per family, and booking is essential as places are limited to two adults per family. The RHS is the UK's gardening charity, working to help people and plants to grow.
