Growing with Nature: Welcome Spring

Spring has officially arrived! The earth is waking up from its winter rest, filling the air with fresh green life, warm sunshine, and the busy sounds of nature in full bloom.

Our September Growing with Nature Gathering is a beautiful invitation for your family to slow down, disconnect from the busy week, and step into the joy of spring together. While this gathering offers a wonderful educational experience for the whole family, it remains deeply child-focused and play-based—giving your children a warm, intentional space to learn, play, and truly grow with nature as a community.

Time & Location

Noosa Botanic Gardens

What's included:

• A Storytelling Circle: We will open our morning wrapped in community connection under the trees. Together, we will share a cozy seasonal story, A Nest for Mama Magpie, exploring the flurry of activity in the bird world as our feathered friends prepare for the busy breeding season.

  
  

• Guided Exploration: With our eyes wide with curiosity, we will go on a lovely spring walk to search for birds' nests tucked away in the branches, noticing how different birds build their homes and tracking the beautiful changes in our natural environment.

  
  

• Seasonal Nature Craft: Working side-by-side with adult hands assisting little fingers, families will dive into a beautiful tactile art project. We will be creating custom Dream Pillows filled with fragrant wildflowers and soothing spring herbs. Children will love selecting their own natural blends to create a high-quality keepsake that carries the calming scents of spring straight to their bedrooms.
