Nature School- A Sensory Nature Experience

Next date: Thursday, 10 April 2025 | 10:00 AM to 02:00 PM

Suited for 5yrs - 12yrs. Cost $40 per session.

Students will begin their journey with a welcoming story before embarking on a short bushwalk and a brief mindfulness session, setting the tone for a deeper connection with nature.

This session, we’ll engage our sense of taste with a picnic in the Seeds of Learning garden! Using ingredients harvested from our food forest—both native and non-native—students will have the opportunity to help prepare delicious dishes. Our Rangers will share insights into the uses and benefits of native plants while introducing our planting calendar.

To wrap up, students will take part in a creative activity reflecting on the session, adding their discoveries to their nature journals.
