A colourful and blooming new activity for kids at parties or playdates. The idea is that we create a sweet and inspiring colorful space for kids to express their creativity. A unique idea for christenings, weddings or any other occasion. Α sketchbook, some pencils, pots, compost soil and magic markers are some of the tools for our workshop. In this workshop we were very happy to use our new amazing gardening tools made just for Secret Garden by Bluecycle and we are able to talk more to our children about the importance of recycling and sustainability while planting their herbs and having fun.

That fresh smell of herbs is what sets this workshop apart. First we sketch our ideas, then we paint the pots, especially created for our workshops. Finally we move to the next step. We choose the herbs. The smell of fresh herbs, the bright colors of local flowers and the chance to create all together, tickles all our senses. As the kids choose and pick the flowers and herbs for their pots, the stems and leaves that are not used are collected in the designated bin. It is a great opportunity for kids to actively participate in the whole process. They create something beautiful and they make sure nothing is wasted.

(*The tool sets they will use are made from fishing nets and toys collected by Bluecycle.
These tools are injection molded and hand finished at Bluecycle.
BlueCycle is a Blue and Circular economy initiative in Greece, which aims to reuse marine plastic waste generated from shipping and fishing activities. Its goal is to create new, high-quality material suitable for re-integration into the industry, and to explore and promote a holistic approach to the sea waste problem.)

BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE PARTY IS OVER?
The scraps of the gardening workshop are cut into smaller pieces and collected together with all the waste from the production in our workshop and sent to our compost. Secret Garden makes sure that all its flower waste is composted and it’s this nutritious composted soil that we use for our gardening workshops.
