A garden centre is hosting free events throughout October.

Dobbies Garden Centre has announced a month-long series of events at its Braehead store, including Grow How, Little Seedlings Club, and Little Seedlings Holiday Club.

These activities aim to inspire gardening enthusiasts of all ages to embrace the wonders of autumn.

The events will also provide attendees with gardening tips and fun, hands-on activities.

The first event, Grow How, will take place on October 5, and will then be held every Wednesday throughout October at 10.30am and 3.30pm.

The sessions will teach participants how to decorate their doorways for autumn and Halloween, and will offer ideas for hanging baskets, window boxes, doormats, garden lighting, and crafting autumn wreaths using homegrown vegetables.

Dobbies’ Little Seedlings workshop, taking place on October 6, will be for children aged four to 10.

Kids will explore the seasonal changes in nature, learning why leaves change colour and how animals prepare for hibernation during the colder months.

The workshop includes a craft activity where children will make their own leaf fossils.

The Little Seedlings Holiday Club, taking place in the third week of October, will bring fairytales to life and explore how to bring a little bit of magic to the garden.

Children will learn the origins of some of their favourite fairytales like Cinderella, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel and Beauty and the Beast. The workshop will include an interactive storytelling session, toadstool-making craft and fairy garden creation, ensuring a magical experience for all. 

Ayesha Nickson, events programme manager at Dobbies, said: "Our fantastic range of free autumn events in our Braehead store are aimed at giving families a fun and creative activity to get involved in.

"Whether you're a seasoned gardener or simply looking for some family fun, we have something for everyone."
