Garden centre unveils family-friendly fun

There’s an array of free activities lined up for families over Easter at Debbies Garden Centre including a Little Seedlings Club workshop which is taking place on Sunday, April 7.

Designed to ignite a passion in gardening in an educational and engaging way, the sessions at the complex in Bury St Edmunds gives children aged three to 10 the chance to explore a new hobby, meet friends and learn about the wonderful world of gardens.

April’s Little Seedlings Club workshop will uncover what a wildlife friendly garden is, the importance of biodiversity, alongside common wildlife that can be spotted in the garden. From pollinators like bees and butterflies to birds, frogs, hedgehogs and squirrels, there’s plenty to spot in the garden as spring arrives.

Dobbies’ Easter Holiday sessions will give attendees an introduction to Spring, facts about the season, how to create a colourful garden full of flowers and vegetables at home, alongside learning about the variety of Spring baby animals that can be spotted at this time of year. Children will also learn how to plant and care for pansy seeds and get the chance to take some home.

Sarah Murray who has developed the Easter programme of activity at Dobbies is excited to welcome families along for some free fun.

She said: “Spring is the perfect time to get back into the garden and enjoy the outdoors, and we’re eager to share our love for gardening with passionate young enthusiasts.

“We know how tricky it can be to keep the kids entertained and busy over the school holidays, so bring the whole family to Dobbies’ Bury St Edmunds store for a fun and interactive session.”
