Buds n Blooms is back at Piney Lakes for Term 1 2022!

Buds n Blooms is an intergenerational nature play group that provides a community led, highly enriched, sensory and outdoor learning and play environment for all ages. The fortnightly program (Tuesdays 9.30am-11.30am), encourages children, seniors and other attendees to engage with the environment in a garden based setting, led by a skilled facilitator.

This program is suitable for all, aged 0-100! Our guided activities and workshops are structured and directed towards ages 0-7 but remain inclusive for all to participate and enjoy. There will be something different happening each time!

Some of the activities participants may enjoy at Buds n Blooms include:

• planting and tending to the PLEEC garden
• nature art
• making food from harvested produce
• playing and building in the garden space

Please remember it is your responsibility at all times to ensure that you are close to your child/dependent/elder, and able to intervene for their safety when needed.

Sessions will run outdoors in all weather so we recommend bringing a change of clothes, wet weather gear, hats, sunscreen and insect repellent. Please bring your own drink bottle and your own morning tea. Tea and coffee is available free of charge.

Buds n Blooms is part of our ongoing toddler program on Tuesday mornings at PLEEC. It alternates with Tales and Trails Storytime.

Piney Lakes Environmental Education Centre is accessed from the westbound lanes on Leach Hwy.

Contact registers remain mandatory. Visitors are required to check in with the SafeWA app or the paper contact registers provided and to wear masks while inside the centre.
