At the Mindful Roots Corner, children and grown-ups alike are invited to create their own ‘Seeds of Wishes’. Plant herbs and wildflowers, write down a hope or wish on seeded paper, and tuck it into the soil to grow over time—something to take home and care for as it begins to bloom.
Blending hands-on gardening, simple crafts, and gentle storytelling, this is a fun and thoughtful activity for the summer holidays—perfect for curious minds and busy hands.
Recommended age: 3–13 years. Participating adults must be 18+ , and children must be accompanied by at least one adult.
Each person taking part will need their own ticket, so everyone can plant and create their own wish.
