Bespoke seed packets – what to expect
Saturday 27 September, 10.30am to 12.15pm.
In this hands-on workshop, children will explore the fascinating world of seeds and their vital role in nature. The session begins with a guided walk through the OmVed Gardens, where children will observe various seed heads, learning about the plant life cycle and the importance of seeds. The adventure continues with a visit to OmVed’s new Seed Library, where they’ll discover how we save and store seeds and share them through our Seed Saving Network.
Next, it’s time to get creative! Children will learn the basics of origami, folding paper into seed packet envelopes using a variety of papers and techniques, without the need for cuts or glue. They’ll select seeds from OmVed’s garden, blending their own custom mix. Each child will personalise their packet with their chosen seeds, adding creative designs and planting instructions to take home.
The crafting table will be stocked with everything children need to make their seed packets unique—pressed flowers, nature-based inks, and natural printing blocks. By the end of the session, children will have crafted seed packets to gift, plant, and grow their own harvest.
The session concludes with a visit to the compost area, where children will learn about composting and how seeds can survive the process if not properly managed.
