We look at the power of plants and discover why they’re so important to the world.


INCURSION OUTLINE

  • We explore all the parts of plant through taste, touch and smell.

  • We help the kids understand the growth cycle of plants by inviting them to become one. First they imagine they’re seeds and then we ‘wake’ them up with a light spray of water to help them bloom into plants.

  • Next, we make our own potting mix using homemade-worm-filled compost.

  • From there, we find and collect some worms to join their friends in a worm farm.

  •  We then plant a range of seasonal edible plants and flowers into take-home biodegradable pots so the kids can plant them at home. If you have an available garden bed, we can plant a range of beautiful plants instead of providing take-home pots.

  • Lastly, we decorate some paper bags that can carry all of our goodies home.

    We supply all the materials for this incursion. For prices and availability, please send us an email.
