Spring sunshine is nature’s alarm clock, telling wildlife to wake up after winter. You can see, hear, and smell the signs of newness as the season arrives with a rush of energy. The session will include garden weaving, vegetable sewing and flower collage.

Jak will be reading Sean Taylor & Alex Morss’ story ‘Busy Spring: Nature Wakes Up’. This beautifully illustrated book offers an engaging introduction to spring, perfect for young nature enthusiasts.

Contact us at enquiries@morrablibrary.org.uk or telephone 01736 364474 to book a place. Entry to this event is free but donations are welcomed to help support The Morrab Library (suggested £5).
