Children's border sowing sessions at Erddig

This May half term, roll up your sleeves and join us for border sowing sessions at Erddig - perfect for little green fingers eager to help our gardens bloom.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join us this May half term to celebrate Children's Gardening Week.

Get hands-on with our expert gardening team during border sowing sessions on 26 and 27 May. Little green fingers will love picking up a watering can or spade to help sow wildflowers in the garden borders. Be sure to return this summer to see how your gardening efforts have blossomed!

Watch our gardeners plant sunflowers, then take one home to nurture and grow. Enter our competition to see who can grow the tallest - can your sunflower outgrow the gardeners efforts?
