Fairy Doors
With Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park Events
About 9.9 miles away from your postcode
At Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park
Activity description
Who loves plants more than fairies? Join us for a magical indoor craft activity where you'll create your very own fairy garden door. Personalise your door with colours, dry plants, and even a special message if you'd like. Take your creation home and place it in your garden or a favourite green space or bring it the next day when we’ll make a fairy garden together. Who knows? A fairy might just move in and create a magical garden on the other side! Sessions run on a drop-in basis; they are free and no booking is required. These sessions will take place indoors, in our classroom, from 11am-12pm and 2-3pm. Ask at the gatehouse for directions. Stick around in the park and complete the quiz or the younger children’s trail for more interesting facts about plants.
