Root 'n' Fruit Gardening Fun HAF Session
Middleport Matters Community Trust
A summary
Children and young people will take part in a range of hands-on outdoor, gardening and creative activities at our Root ’n’ Fruit Community Allotment. Activities will include seeding, planting, watering, harvesting, mud kitchen play, nature walks, creative projects and free play in a safe outdoor environment.
We will work in small groups with plenty of support from staff, so children can try new skills, get a bit muddy and feel proud of what they’ve helped to look after. We’ll finish with time to wash hands, have a break and share what we’ve done.
The session will encourage teamwork, communication, confidence and problem-solving as children work together on shared tasks. Creative and nature-based activities will also support imagination, curiosity and wellbeing, while giving children the opportunity to try new experiences and learn through play.
