Dobbies Garden Centres is inspiring gardeners in Sandyholm this September with two free-to-attend gardening workshops, Little Seedlings Club and Grow How, suitable for all ages and abilities.
September’s Little Seedlings Club, Incredible Orchards, is designed for children aged four to ten and takes place on Sunday, September 7. During this workshop, children at the Clydesdale store will learn about the fascinating world of orchards, how fruit trees grow and the ways the orchards change with the seasons, alongside the importance of these spaces as habitats for wildlife, including bees, birds and beetles.
The children’s gardening club sessions are designed to be fun and interactive, and attendees will also get the chance to take part in an apple tree craft activity.
Dobbies’ Grow How sessions, Mow & Grow, are taking place on Wednesday and Saturday, September 3 and 6, at 10.30am and 3.30pm at the Sandyholm store. September’s topic is all about lawncare and seasonal planting. It’s an interactive session that takes around half an hour with a live demonstration, followed by a Q&A session with a member of Dobbies’ Green Team.
