Seedlings Autumn Summer Workshop

Sunday 13th October 10:30am to 12:00noon

This is our fifth 'Seedlings' workshop of the year for young gardeners aged 4 to 14 years old. During the workshop, children will:


• Harvest pumpkins and see how much they weigh
• Sow more bulbs, board beans, onions and peas
• Tidy the plot for winter
• More ideas still being worked on
• Listen to gardening stories


This will be done under parental supervision on the 'Seedlings' allotment in Letchworth. Each child will receive a certificate and will get to take home what they have done. The cost is £3/child.

Email Kay Walker on workshops@ldga.org.uk to book a place, first come first served.

Children love getting their hands mucky, so gardening can be the perfect activity to do together that will help them learn more about nature whilst having fun.

Welcome to LDGA

Letchworth District Gardeners Association (LDGA) was formed in 1906 to promote horticulture to the residents of Letchworth Garden City and the surrounding areas. Today, we have around 700 members with a keen interest in gardening of all types – flowers, fruit and/or vegetables, grown either at home or on an allotment.

In 2020 we have invited two well-known gardening personalities to Letchworth. Both are designers, authors, and TV presenters.
