DOBBIES´ free-to-attend children’s gardening workshop is here for the month of May, giving children the chance to discover the:- ‘Power of Plants’. The session takes place on:- Sunday, 3 May 2026 at the Southport store and will cover everything there is to know about different types of plants, the ways they protect themselves and their healing properties.

May’s Little Seedlings Club at Dobbies’ Southport store will explore the unexpected powers of plants, with a focus on:- climbing plants, carnivorous plants, healing plants, and will be looking at specific garden powerhouses, such as the:- Venus flytrap, climbing ivy, chamomile, aloe vera and many more.

Children will have the opportunity to join hands on activities in a group setting alongside fellow young gardening enthusiasts. In the May workshop, they will explore the soothing qualities of lavender and discover how it attracts essential pollinators to the garden. Afterwards, each child will get to plant their own lavender pot to take home.

Dobbies’ Event Programme Manager, Ayesha Nickson, said:- “The Power of Plants is an inspiring and important topic for our Little Seedlings to discover this May. Children taking part can get excited to learn about plants with special powers including the ability to climb, protect themselves, and healing properties. Dobbies’ Little Seedlings Club is a fantastic way to get children enthusiastic about spending time in their gardens and nature. The free workshops at our Southport store are designed to be engaging and encourage curiosity, and the hands on activities are always a highlight.”
