Event Information:
A special Floriade community showcase at Woden Valley Early Learning Centre (WVELC), celebrating 10 years of Nature Pedagogy at WVELC .
We would simply like you to come and experience it and imagine how a child would feel if they were part of planting a Floriade Garden
The event will celebrate the ways young children encounter nature, place, beauty, curiosity and belonging through early childhood education.
Each space will offer a different expression of Nature Pedagogy, children’s participation and ecological learning, with opportunities to move through the service, listen, observe and experience the environments for yourself.
This is not a workshop about nature pedagogy. It’s a chance to experience it—and take it back with you.

In 2026 WVELC is celebrating 10 years of implementing their Nature Pedagogy approach.
Gabby Millgate has been the Nature Pedagogy Leader for 9 of those 10 years and is foundational now to the advocacy for children's access and agency in their learning environment.
The Floriade event is a showcase of what happens when parents support a Nature Pedagogy Leader to help their service to transition to nature play environments.
