Eco Holidays: Composting, worm farming and bug hotels

Get Gardening These School Holidays with Urban Grow!

Looking for a fun, hands-on way to keep kids (5 - 10 year olds) engaged and inspired during the break? Urban Grow’s workshop invites curious young minds to get their hands dirty while learning about gardening and sustainability from the ground up.

Kids will learn about composting and worm farming, build their own mini worm farm, and create a DIY bug hotel using recycled and natural materials. A slightly messy, creative session that inspires care for the environment and the creatures that help it thrive.
