It’s ‘Potty Time’ at the Garden

Making a Welsh ‘Potty Woman’ is on the menu of half-term family activities at the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

Head of Learning Jane Richmond is leading the ‘potty woman’ making sessions. She said: “I know it sounds a bit ‘potty’  but a Welsh ‘potty woman’ is a traditionally dressed woman made out of flower pots. It is definitely a fun activity and something all the family will want to get involved with, we are sure.”

Family activities run at the Garden from Monday to Friday in half-term and, as well as making your very own Welsh potty woman, you can try your hands at ‘Grow Your Own’, ‘Crafts for the Garden’ and the ever popular ‘Grape Escape’.

On the Monday and Tuesday (Feb 13-14), we’ll be offering tips on how to grow your own salad and veg. On the Thursday and Friday (Feb 16-17), there are craft-making sessions where you can create your own potty woman, scarecrow head or jazzy plant labels. And, on Wednesday, why not try your hand at making a raft out of recycled plant material then sail it down the Garden’s beautiful rill.

All activities will run from 11am-3pm and will be free with normal admission prices.
