WONDERVELD Wonderlab: Winter Edition

WONDERVELD WONDERLAB

Winter Edition

Winter Roots & Remedies — a cosy journey for kids into nature’s sleeping season

Saturday, 25th July   ·   1:00 – 3:30 pm   ·   BELLHAUS Atelier & Galerie, 18 Bell St.

Step into our botanical Wonderlab with Marcii from Wonderveld—where, as the garden falls quiet, the magic of herbs and flowers moves indoors into warmth, scent and light. This is the season of roots, seeds and dried petals: the warming botanicals that carry us gently through the cold. Through play, story and hands-on discovery, young herbalists uncover nature’s quiet winter wisdom.

THE AFTERNOON

Story, art & the Wonder Lab

We begin beside the warmth of winter tales—where the plants go when the cold arrives, and the gifts they leave behind. Inspired by botanical illustration, children explore roots, seeds and dried blooms, each with a colouring booklet that turns discovery into art. Then our sensory Wonder Lab invites them to sniff, mix and create: a “Roots & Bark” table challenges them to name roots like ginger, cinnamon and star anise by scent alone before the reveal.

TOGETHER, WE’LL CRAFT

Treasures to take home

• Winter Sun Catchers — Threaded on twine—pods, peels, twigs, gathered botanicals, cinnamon sticks, star anise and buds that turn in the window and release a soft, warm scent. No two alike.
• Warming “Story Tea” Blend — Chamomile, hibiscus, orange peel, lemon verbena, rose geranium and mint, spooned into a pouch and named by each child—a cosy cup to share at home.
• Botanical Collage Art — An artwork composed from pressed botanicals—a keepsake of the garden’s brighter days to frame and treasure.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Guided DIY recipes with safe, skin-loving ingredients
• Protective aprons, lab tools and stations with beakers & droppers
• Educational insights into natural ingredients and their nurturing powers
• Take-home creations to enjoy and share beyond the workshop

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Curious, creative kids aged 5 to 15. Small groups ensure personalised attention from a caring team, so every child feels seen, safe and inspired.

AND THEN WE CELEBRATE!

We gather over spiced cinnamon-and-orange punch and a nourishing spread: warm bread with whipped honey butter, honey-roasted root vegetable sticks, orange & cardamom bites, and hot cacao with cinnamon and honey.

Come play, learn and grow in harmony with nature’s winter gifts—where every root and seed tells a story, and every child becomes a budding young herbalist.
