Free monthly Little Seedlings Club session for children to learn about the life cycle of leaves and make a paper plate leaf wreath.
Dobbies in Milton Keynes is hosting another Little Seedlings Club session on Sunday 1 November, this one called The Journey of Leaves. It's a free workshop for children, part of Dobbies' monthly series that works its way through the seasons with hands-on activities. This particular session looks at the science behind the life cycle of leaves: what plants need for food, why leaves come in such different shapes and sizes, and what makes them change colour as the year turns.
During the session, the children get to explore leaves from around the world and find out how fallen leaves nourish the soil and build habitats for wildlife. It's not just listening, though — there's a creative side to it, too. Everyone makes a paper plate leaf wreath to take home, so they'll leave with something they've actually made. Dobbies' Event Programme Manager Hannah Stephen describes it as a chance for children to discover the fascinating world of leaves and get creative while inspiring a love of nature.
