Family friendly

Got a lonely sock with no match? Bring it along to this workshop and turn it into a fun plant pot full of personality.

Using a mix of craft materials and imagination, children can design a sock plant pal – silly, stripy, or spotty, it’s up to them.

Each child will even get a real plant to grow at home or in the Story Garden, making this a brilliant hands-on activity for budding nature lovers and crafty creators.
