This program invites children to stop, listen, and expand their imaginations in nature.
Experienced guides will get the children looking down and around at the tiny, magical worlds hidden deep with the Garden. What can they see? Maybe we will see mushrooms that look like fairy homes, little bugs in the leaf litter, shapes and patterns in the soil. What can they imagine? Let's imagine together!
After exploring together, we will be crafting a tiny sculpture from earthenware clay and collected nature treasures. These miniature sculptures are designed to be taken and hidden in some secret place in nature. A special secret only you know about - which you can go back and visit again and again!

This is the chassis on which all that came after it was built. It is a sleek, shiny Cadillac straight out of a Chuck Berry song; a souped-up jalopy that is noisy, hot-tempered & irresistible.

With John up front is Eric K Betts on harp & vocal, & in the back seat are Luke Robinson on drums & Martin Skipper on bass.
