Join us for a 9-week seasonal gardening and farm program for children aged 2–5 years. Rooted in permaculture principles, this fun and sensory-rich experience nurtures confidence, connection to nature, and gentle farm skills through play.

🌸 At Permaculture Hawkesbury Valley, we’re so proud to offer a truly unique farm learning experience for children β€” right here in our purpose-built outdoor classroom and bush kitchen, set within our beautiful permaculture gardens.

Children learn surrounded by nature β€” under shady trees, beside veggie beds buzzing with bees, and among friendly farm animals. Our outdoor classroom provides a comfortable, all-weather space for group activities, while our bush kitchen lets kids mix, create, and cook using fresh produce straight from the garden. It’s hands-on, wholesome learning β€” where memories (and muddy boots!) are made.
