Discover, Learn and Grow in the Garden!

This special program helps early learners grow and develop surrounded by nature at the Botanic Garden. Children will explore, build, engage their senses, discover and play!

Seedlings provides a captivating combination of garden-based activities, games and stories for children aged 2.5 – 5 years and their caregivers.

Children will explore their local Botanic Garden, connect with the natural world, and discover the fascinating plants and wildlife around them. Along the way, they’ll build confidence, resilience and social skills with other children in a safe, supportive environment. Each term also includes a special session led by a First Nations educator, offering children and caregivers the opportunity to learn more about Country.

Each session is designed to spark curiosity, nurture creativity, and build a lifelong love of nature.

Children must be accompanied by an adult carer.
Babies not participating in the program may attend free of charge with their ticket–holding sibling.
This program runs in all weather so don’t forget to pack your gumboots, rain jacket and your hat!

Get the most out of Seedlings with a term pass!

Term passes provide the best value for money, delivering the 8–session term for the price of 7. Join us every week to strengthen your child’s relationship with the natural world.

Term passes are on sale now. Purchase a term pass for the first date of the term and it will be your pass for the rest of the term.
