Hands-on Horticulture is a new not-for-profit established to encourage a love of nature and plants in pre-schools and schools.

The seed was planted by Greg Day and Kimberley Hall who have a passion for education and a love of the environment.

Being parents, in particular of kindergarten aged children, we have observed a trend away from children exploring their environment, getting outside and connecting with nature, getting dirty, creating home-made things and wanted to develop a suite of programs that would encourage and facilitate this in a child’s every day life, from an early age.

We hope that our program will install a love of learning and exploring in all children, the future caretakers of our environment.
