Gardens Walkshop: Create a Journey Stick

Join us for a creative, family-friendly a mix of a foraging workshop and a guided walk.

Journey sticks are a fun, tactile way of recording a journey and remembering it later on, and have been used by some aboriginal cultures to tell stories about their travels. You’ll make and personalise your own stick with special decorations.

Our Conservation Ranger, Sila, will guide you around the Gardens to collect and arrange fallen natural treasures like feathers, which you’ll use to decorate your sticks. There will also be some time to discuss your adventure in the Gardens and show your new, unique creation.

This activity is recommended for ages 6 – 12  year olds.
Some of the session will be outside, so please dress for the weather.
