A FOCUS on the science of leafy greens is coming to two garden centres this weekend and primary school-aged children are invited.
Dobbies runs a monthly Little Seedlings Club ad on Sunday it will host a session called Magnificent Microgreens, aiming to showcase the benefits of eating them. It also shows how they can be grown even in small spaces.
Aimed at children aged four to 10, participants can make a windowsill planter, while there will be demonstrations on how chefs use microgreens.
Dobbies’ partnership and events manager Sarah Murray said: “July is a brilliant time of year to encourage the little ones to get out into the garden.
“Growing your own microgreens is a great way for kids to learn the basics of how to care for plants, find out where they exist in the plant lifecycle and why they are so popular.”
She added: “The Little Seedlings workshop is open to all children who have access to a garden, an outdoor balcony space or even just a sunny windowsill.”
The sessions take place at its Hare Hatch and Shinfield branches, and places must be booked.
