Dobbies hosts free Little Seedlings Club this February at Lisburn and Antrim store

Dobbies’ Lisburn and Antrim stores are hosting its monthly children’s gardening workshop this February, where kids will learn all about the different ways to compost in the garden and get the chance to create their own compost bottle to take home.

During February’s Little Seedlings Club workshop, which takes place on Sunday 1 February at the Lisburn and Antrim stores, children will learn what compost is, the difference between green and brown waste, and what can and can’t be composted, before taking part in a fun sorting challenge. They’ll also learn more about helpful compost creatures and about the importance of composting for plants, wildlife and the planet.

February’s session at Dobbies’ Lisburn and Antrim stores will also include advice about starting a compost heap at home, composting in small spaces, and the many ways it can be used for indoor and outdoor planting. Kids will then get to take part in a hands-on activity and create their own compost bottles to take home and use in their own gardens.

Dobbies’ Little Seedlings Club is designed to be fun, creative and engaging, with interactive activities and games for kids to get inspired about gardens and nature, with the chance to ask lots of questions. The session takes place each month at Dobbies’ Lisburn and Antrim stores and covers a range of seasonal topics and activities.

Dobbies’ Events Programme Manager, Ayesha Nickson, said: “Our February Little Seedlings Club is a great way for budding gardeners to learn all about the interesting and practical ways waste can be reused, and be inspired about composting, gardening and looking out for nature. We’re looking forward to welcoming kids along to our February workshop and can’t wait to see their mini compost bottle creations.”
