Nature-Friendly Gardening for preschool children in Milton Keynes!

Calling all preschoolers located in Milton Keynes. Frosts Garden Centre, located in Woburn Sands, has a perfect introduction to nature-friendly gardening for pre-school children. They've contacted us directly to ask if we'd be able to share the news and to invite you all to go along and join the educational fun in their Little Acorns activity sessions. At Blue Diamond, they understand the importance of helping future generations care for our environment and nature through gardening. They have developed a new initiative at Frost's Garden Centre called Little Acorns, aimed at pre-school children.

The Little Acorns sessions that are being hosted are all £8.99 (which includes one accompanying adult, and then it's a further £1.99 for any additional adult tickets). Each £8.99 ticket includes:

• A carton of fruit juice & a biscuit per child

• Fun gardening & craft activity that can be taken home

• Story & song time

• Take home activity sheets

• Little Acorn achievement certificate

• Price includes one accompanying adult
