February Half Term: ‘World on Your Windowsill’, RHS Garden Harlow Carr, 11-19 February

Discover a whole new world on your windowsill at RHS Garden Harlow Carr this half term and find out which plants can be grown in even the smallest of spaces. With planting workshops, wellbeing yoga sessions and hilarious tales by the Garden Detectives there’s something to keep the whole family entertained.

The half-term event is jam-packed with gardening activities, crafting, and the chance to leave with handmade items that will brighten up the home. Whatever the weather, visitors will be able to get inspired about growing indoors, learn to look after a miniature jungle, and even explore a houseplant trail.

Activities

Planting workshops: Drop-in sessions
Monday Friday, 10.30am–12.30pm and 1pm–3pm
We are sharing our love of houseplants and encouraging children to upcycle items from around the home and green up your living rooms. Whether it be a used tin of beans or a glass jar, bring it along to our workshop and make it into a lovely plant pot or plant hanger to keep on your window ledge. (A limited number of plants are available to put in your upcycled container).

You will also learn where the plants come from and how to look after them at home, sharing ideas of how to make propagation stations from recycled materials and grow your plant collection by taking cuttings and dividing plants.
