Each child will receive a basket and set of clues to help them gather the nuggets hidden around the garden. There will be lots of exploring in the Wilderness and Gardens with possibly some surprises along the way and then a triumphant return to the Courtyard to claim their chocolate gift. There is limited availability so don’t leave it too late.
