Monday 11th August, 10:30am – 11:30am
Bring your Tiny Nature Explorer (pre-schooler) to Northern Roots Urban Farm and connect with nature through creativity, activities and stories!
You might make a seed bomb or a nature crown, listen to a story in the Community Garden, plant some seeds or see what bugs and birds you can spot. If it’s a sunny day, why not bring a picnic and explore the wider Northern Roots site after your visit.
Tiny Nature Explorers is a collaboration between Gallery Oldham and Northern Roots and has been designed especially for 2–3-year-olds (pre-school) and their families.
The session is FREE, but you must book your place via Eventbrite
