🌱 GARDEN GANG 🌱

Another busy week at Garden Gang! 🐞🌿

We’ve been digging, splashing, exploring, hunting for minibeasts and generally discovering just how muddy it’s possible to get. 😂 There’s loads of opportunity for little ones to explore the allotment, follow their curiosity and enjoy outdoor free play.

Fancy joining us? We have two Garden Gang sessions each week:

🌿 HYDE
Mondays | 1:30pm–2:30pm
📍 BLOOM Allotments, Grange Road South, Hyde, SK14 5NP

🐞 DUKINFIELD
Wednesdays | 9:45am–11:15am
📍 Community Green Allotment, Meadow Lane, Dukinfield, SK16 4AN

For children aged 1–4 years with their parent/carer.
💚 Just a £1 donation per session.

We had a brilliant (and very muddy! 😂) first Nature Buddies session at Community Green Allotment! 🌿

There was mud-kitchen cooking, exploring the allotment, picking and tasting fresh veggies, wildlife spotting, digging, splashing and plenty of messy outdoor fun. 🪱🥬🍅💦

Nature Buddies runs every Saturday, 1pm–3pm, for children aged 3–8 and their families — older siblings are welcome too!

🍎 Snacks & drinks provided
🌱 £3 per child / £5 for two children

What a wonderful summer we’ve had at LEAP Allotment Adventures🌻🌱

Over the summer our families have been busy digging, planting, growing, creating, exploring and getting wonderfully muddy along the way! 💚

A huge thank you to all of the children, parents and carers who joined us over the summer — and to everyone who helped make our sessions so much fun. 🌿☀️

We’ve loved every minute! 💚
