Mindful Roots Corner with The Barefoot Planter

19th July 2026

Turner Contemporary

A fun and thoughtful activity for the summer holidays at Margate's Turner Contemporary

10.30am – 11.30am, 1pm – 2pm, 3pm – 4pm

Foyle Rooms

At the Mindful Roots Corner, children and grown-ups alike are invited to create their own ‘Seeds of Wishes’. Plant herbs and wildflowers, write down a hope or wish on seeded paper, and tuck it into the soil to grow over time - something to take home and care for as it begins to bloom.

Blending hands-on gardening, simple crafts, and gentle storytelling, this is a fun and thoughtful activity for the summer holidays - perfect for curious minds and busy hands.

Recommended age: 3–13 years. Participating adults must be 18+, and children must be accompanied by at least one adult.

Each person taking part will need their own ticket, so everyone can plant and create their own wish.
