Ayesha Nickson, events programme manager at Dobbies, said: "Our Garden Tools Little Seedlings Club workshop at our Glasgow store has been designed to engage children and get them curious about gardening.
"Our free monthly sessions involve games and a crafting activity where children can make something to take home to keep the fun going.
'Dobbies is a great place for families to come together, whether it's to experience our free Little Seedlings Club, to let off steam in the soft play, or enjoy a delicious treat in the restaurant where children can eat for £1.'

Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme launched
Comedy, music, dance, children's shows, magic and cabaret will all be part of the arts festival, which runs from August 1 to 25. Topics include the apocalypse, rave culture, disability and sexuality, and more than half the performers are Scottish. A total of 3,352 shows are included on the line-up, including at new venues such as Hibernian Football Club's Easter Road stadium. Portobello Town Hall will also host acts for the first time, with a mini-festival to celebrate Palestinian art and culture, Welcome to the Fringe, Palestine. There are 325 free shows and 529 pay-what-you-can shows, and accommodation has been provided by several universities to make the Fringe more accessible to performers. Some 923 shows are from Scotland, predominantly from Edinburgh with 657 acts represented, compared to 1,392 from the rest of the UK nations, while a total of 54 non-British nationalities are on the line-up. Easter Road stadium will host two shows – Dropped, by former Chelsea FC trainee Alfie Cain recalling dashed aspirations and 'the darkness and pressures' of football, as well as Frankie Mack Showman – The Next Stage: The Leith San Siro, described as a 'high-energy, show-stopping' night of swing, rock'n'roll and modern classics. Alice Hawkins – Working Class Suffragette at the Arthur Conan Doyle Centre explores a family connection with the campaign for democracy while VOTE the Musical at Paradise Green takes a 'gripping look' at the Suffragettes, exploring activism and personal sacrifice, according to promoters. Jenna Stone's play Happy Ending Street, at Leith Arches, tells a story about three Scottish sex workers dreaming of escaping from their way of life. Tony Lankester, chief executive of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, said: 'Programme launch is such an exciting moment for everyone involved making the Fringe happen. 'Thank you to all the Fringe-makers – the artists, venues, workers, producers, technicians, promoters, support staff and audiences that bring their unmatched, exceptional energy to Edinburgh in August. 'This year's Fringe programme is filled with every kind of performance, so whether you're excited for theatre or circus, or the best of comedy, music, dance, children's shows, magic or cabaret; get ready to dare to discover this August. 'Jump right in, book your favourites, shows that intrigue you and take a chance on something new.'
