Question 1

Who are the sessions for?

Accepted Answer

Mothers with babies aged 0–9ish months: If your baby is content resting in a sling, pram, or bouncy chair — or a mix of all three — this space is perfect for you. There’s also the option to pop them into a play pen with sensory toys if they need to wriggle.

Question 2

Do I need gardening experience?

Accepted Answer

Not at all.
 All activities are beginner-friendly, guided, and focused on enjoyment rather than perfection. The aim is to leave feeling calmer and more confident.

Question 3

What happens in a typical session?

Accepted Answer

Each 1.5 hour session follows a gentle, predictable rhythm:
Welcome and settling time (with refreshment)
Short grounding or mindful moment
A simple gardening activity
Baby-friendly nature sensory play
Take-home plant or creation
You’ll always leave with something you’ve made — and hopefully feeling

Question 4

What if my baby cries, feeds, sleeps, or needs me?

Accepted Answer

That’s completely expected — and completely welcome ?
 Babies can be fed, changed, worn, soothed, or left to explore at any point during the session. There is no pressure to participate constantly. Just do what you can when you can and I’m always on hand to help out too.

Question 5

Are the sessions safe for babies?

Accepted Answer

Only non-toxic plants and materials are used
No chemicals, fertilisers, or sharp tools
Baby sensory items are natural and safe
Babies remain under their parent’s supervision at all times
Hand wipes, seating, shade, and mats are provided

Where do the sessions take place?
