Connect with nature these winter school holidays at the Kumbartcho Sanctuary June/July School Holiday Program in Eatons Hill. Running from late June through July 2026, this entirely free eco-adventure invites Brisbane children to pot their own native plants, enjoy nature storytelling, explore a fairy garden, and join guided trail walks.
Kumbartcho Sanctuary June/July School Holiday Program
Kumbartcho Sanctuary – Place of Discovery, has a packed program of free activities planned for the June/July school holidays, with something different on offer every day.
Throughout the holidays, children are invited to join a free Pot Up a Plant activity from 9am till noon, Tuesday to Friday, in the lead up to National Tree Day. Each child can pot up their choice of native plant to take home and create habitat for local wildlife – a wonderful hands-on way to connect kids with nature and conservation.
