Once a month at the Old Cheese Factory community gardens, Dads Matter host a free, hands on gardening experience for kids and their fathers/father figures.

Running for an hour and a half, Gardening Together sessions are super relaxed and designed to foster meaningful interactions between kids, dads, grandfathers and nature.

Enjoy a morning of digging, planting, playing and getting dirty! Learn about the role different plants play in the garden and how to grow and look after different fruits and vegetables.

Mamma’s kids absolutely loved getting their hands dirty - shovelling dirt into containers, planting seedlings and making seed bombs to attract bees!

All tools and resources are provided on the day but be sure to bring hats, sunscreen and water bottles as the whole session is run outside.

Gardening Together is held on the third Sunday of every month with limited spots available so be sure to head online and book in advance to avoid disappointment.
