ABOUT THIS SESSION

Come and join us for a special day at the beautiful Wakehurst Place as we celebrate three years of creativity, connection and community collaboration. This joyful event brings people together to share experiences, meet others, take part in inspiring activities and enjoy the stunning gardens and surroundings of Wakehurst.

There will be plenty to get involved in throughout the day, including sensory tours of the gardens, Roots in Family music workshops, artist-led Crafting for Connection sessions, Glow Wild lantern-making workshops, Sow and Grow gardening activities, talks from the Wakehurst team and relaxed networking walks.

This is an opportunity to connect with others, try something creative and be part of a joyful celebration.
