22nd April 2025

April’s session will include a propagation activity. We’ll make some more flatbreads to have with wild garlic again as they are so good- and this will be the last of it- ingredients- SR flour, yogurt and butter to serve.

I think we’ll also have a play with collecting fallen petals from the garden and using them to create casts using plaster of Paris and of course head to the woods for an adventure including lots of free play and wild garlic flatbreads. 

Future sessions are planned for:

13^th May, 17^th June, 15^th July, 19^th August, 23^rd September, 14^th October, 18^th November, 9^th December.

Please note, children must be accompanied to this group.
