The afternoon, roughly
What to expect
- 1 Arrive & settle in Find your spot outside in the garden. There's tea, coffee and treats for the grown-ups, and muffins for little hands to munch on too.
- 2 Hands in the soil Each child gets their own seedlings, pots and soil. We get into the activity: choosing flowers, scooping, digging and patting it all down together — messy is exactly the point.
- 3 Plant something of their own Your little one pots up some plants that are truly theirs, at their own pace. No rushing, no pressure, no such thing as too messy.
- 4 Take it home & watch it grow Head home with your freshly potted plants and a happy, muddy kiddo — plus a few simple tips to keep them thriving.
What's included
- Seedlings, pots, stickers to decorate with, plant markers and soil for each activity
- Four flowers/herbs to take home and watch grow, or 1 terracotta pot and flowers
- Tea, coffee and treats for the grown-ups
- Muffins for small hands
Where
Set up outdoors in the garden of my homely Rondebosch studio in Cape Town. The exact address is shared once you've booked, and there's street parking outside.
Who it's for
Made for little ones aged 2 to 5 and their grown-up. Each booking is one adult and one child, and groups stay small (max 8 kids) so everyone has space to dig in. Bringing a second little one? Just grab a second spot.
Cancellations
Bookings are non-refundable, but you're welcome to change the date of your booked session. Please just give me sufficient notice for catering purposes.

Planning a party?
Activity packs for parties
Order potting kits for your child's party and run the activity yourselves. Every child gets their own kit with the soil already in it — the activity, the craft and the party pack all in one. Tell me about the party and I'll put together a pack that works for you.
- One kit per child, packed and ready to hand out
- Soil supplied, so nothing to buy in beforehand
- Made to suit your party — the ages, the numbers, the budget

From past guests
We had such a lovely morning at the Mommy and Me plant potting workshop! Everything was so thoughtfully organised, and my girls loved decorating their pots with all the little stickers before planting. They loved choosing their own flowers, getting their hands dirty and planting their own little creations. It was such a fun morning and a wonderful way to spend quality time together.
We attended the lovely Mommy and Me potting workshop, and had a wonderful time decorating the pots and playing with the soil. A great way to introduce your little one to the joys of plants and gardening!
My little ones absolutely loved the potting workshop! It was lovely watching them decorate their pots, play in the soil and care for their cute little plants! All while I enjoyed some hot coffee and yummy treats! 😊 thank you for a great bonding moment with my girls! We had so much fun xx
Had such a fun afternoon! My little guy absolutely loved getting his hands dirty and potting his own flowers. He was most excited about bringing them home and gifting them to his loved ones and has enjoyed watering them and watching them grow each day! Will definitely be back!
