Come and join us for a weekly after-school session of garden-based activities during term 3 of school (ages 12 – 17).

What your child will gain:
• Have fun getting hands-on in the garden while learning how to grow a range of vegetables and plants
• Develop social skills and form new friendships and build your ability to follow a routine, written and verbal instructions
• Practice problem-solving skills to overcome challenges that arise in the garden
• Develop money skills by selling the produce and plants that you grow
• Experience the sensory and therapeutic benefits of working with nature
• Receive support from our therapists to adapt tasks and equipment in order to maximise your participation in gardening activities
