Dobbies Garden Centres is hosting a free children's workshop in Somerset on Sunday, May 4. The Glorious Grass event at the Shepton Mallet store is part of the Little Seedlings Club, which aims to educate children aged 4-10 about gardening. The upcoming workshop will focus on all things grass. Children will learn about how it grows from seeds, its role in the ecosystem, and its importance to the environment. The workshop will also look at worldwide grasslands and savannahs, and talk about the animals that make their homes in these areas. Children will also learn about the potential consequences if grass were to disappear. The workshop will be hands-on, with children given the opportunity to learn how to care for a garden lawn. They will also get to take home their own grass heads to grow. Ayesha Nickson, Dobbies' events programme manager, said: "Glorious Grass is a great session for families looking for a free activity at the weekend. "These interactive workshops bring children of all ages together to learn something new in a fun and friendly environment, with support from our knowledgeable Green Team."
