Running daily from Saturday 23rd May to Sunday 31st May, the activity encourages children to explore the garden centre, following hidden clues along the way for a chance to win a brilliant prize bundle. Tied to National Children’s Gardening Week, it inspires children to engage with nature and brings families together through simple, shared outdoor experiences.

Joanne Hawkins-McDowell, Manager of Notcutts Brampton Garden Centre, shared: "We’re delighted to welcome families back for a free half term activity, in time for National Children’s Gardening Week. With inspiring displays throughout the garden centre, there’s no better time to visit, enjoy the outdoors, and share a fun filled experience together.”

Visitors will find the garden centre at its most vibrant, with colourful displays, thriving plants, and plenty of seasonal inspiration. Alongside the trail, there are ideas for outdoor living including garden furniture, alfresco dining, and outdoor toys to encourage children’s play. The restaurant will also be serving a selection of seasonal treats for the whole family to enjoy.
