Parent Workshops and Talks
We partner with preschools and organisations to conduct workshops and events for parents and families. We strongly believe that parents and caregivers close to the child are their first teachers, and have great influence on children’s development and foundations for learning. These bonds and interactions mould our children from a very young age. We are proud to offer bespoke urban nature-based workshops and learning experiences designed for parents and families that not only encourage positive interactions and meaningful time spent outdoors together, but also the sharing of ideas and strategies for outdoor learning that can be brought back into each home.

From Screen Time to Green Time: Resetting Your Child’s Focus & Behaviour
20 June 2026
Many families today are trying to balance screen time with more meaningful offline experiences. We see the effects too — shorter attention spans, big emotions, and children needing more space to move, explore, and connect.
This June, join us for a hands-on workshop exploring simple nature-based activities that support children’s play, curiosity, creativity, and connection. In this workshop, we will build an activity bank of practical ideas that participants can easily pick up and use on the go.
