Explore: Nature Play Group at Perth City Farm

Nature Playgroup runs every Saturday morning during the school term from 9-10am in the Perth City Farm gardens. It’s a great chance for little ones and their guardians to engage with nature, get creative and make new friends. We’re able to offer Nature Playgroup weekly thanks in part to support from the Rotary Club of Subiaco. No two terms are the same at Nature Playgroup, so if you joined us last term, we’d love to welcome you back for a whole new program throughout this term.

This family playgroup is for children aged 2 to 6 years and an accompanying adult. Facilitated by Erin Pedretti, a qualified children’s educator who plans and delivers each session with unique, hands-on activities inspired by what’s happening at Perth City Farm. The guardians stay and participate in the session so that everyone gets to share in the experience of connecting with nature through outdoor play.

Each session has a different theme that responds to the season and what is happening at the Farm. We might look at composting and worms, bees and pollination, microbeasts in the soil, birds, flowers or fresh fruit and veg. We’ll get our hands busy making, playing, exploring and engaging with the natural environment.

Expect to get messy and maybe bring a change of clothes! Going into winter, please remember to wear your gum boots and waterproof pants and jackets. Nature Playgroup will as much as possible be… in nature!
