Kids garden activities

A great activity initiative for every kid's natural development...

​Rachael from Raising Well Beings ran her first playground at Mandurah Community Gardens in early June 2024.

​A group of 24 children spent time together doing activities and then having a great time playing in the community gardens' mud kitchen, cubby house, children's veggie patch, and butterfly Café.

​Pots were decorated and marigold seeds planted by the children who looked very happy at the end of the morning as they took their pots home.

Real Activity, In a Real Environment, In a Real Social Setting.

Many children's activity days have been held at the gardens by a variety of local service providers and groups over the years.

​The children really enjoy their time learning about plants, soil and growing things - an activity that contrasts positively compared to the "screen time" they contend with in today's world.

These activities provide children with an opportunity to learn about growing plants and how things grow in an outdoors gardening environment. It is a great way to enhance their development and experience by introducing them to their natural world, by engaging in physical activity in a social setting while using their smell, sight and touch to learn about life.
