Join the Education Team for a family workshop based in our woodlands.
There are different woodland and garden based themes and activities throughout the summer. Sessions are for families with children aged 4 to 16. Children must be accompanied by their adults - we expect the adults to join in too! Book specific dates through the hyperlinks below.

Go on a Garden Walk to collect interestingly shaped leaves and coloured petals. Then arranges these on pieces of cotton, hit with a mallet and make a pattern on your fabric.
Egg Drop Challenge Wednesday 30 July
Using natural materials from the Garden can you wrap up and protect an egg so that it does not break when dropped from a great height?
Woodland Invertebrate Hunt Tuesday 5 August
Find out what invertebrates live in the woodlands at RHS Rosemoor. Have a go at identifying them and make your favourite from clay.
