Green Thumbs Up – Icebreakers for Gardening Seminars

November 21, 2024

Plant Pair Share

Your gardening seminar just got more interactive with the Plant Pair Share activity. This fun icebreaker will have attendees swapping stories and tips about their favorite plants, creating a lively atmosphere and fostering a sense of community among participants.

Share favorite plant

Take a moment to share your favorite plant with a partner. Whether it’s a stunning rose bush in your backyard, a flourishing tomato plant in your garden, or a potted succulent on your windowsill, share what makes this plant special to you. Perhaps it brings back fond memories, or maybe it’s a new addition that brightens your day. Sharing your favorite plant allows you to connect with others over a shared love for gardening.

Why it’s special

Share with your partner why this particular plant holds a special place in your heart. Whether it’s the vibrant colors of its blooms, the delicious fruits it produces, or the calming presence it brings to your space, there’s always a reason why a plant becomes a favorite. Exploring the unique qualities and significance of your favorite plant can deepen your appreciation for nature and the beauty it brings to your life.

Gardening Bingo

Are you looking for a fun way to break the ice and get everyone excited about gardening during your seminar? Gardening Bingo is a great icebreaker activity that engages participants and encourages them to share their gardening knowledge while having a good time!

Common gardening tasks

When playing Gardening Bingo, you can include common gardening tasks as the squares on the bingo card. Tasks such as planting seeds, watering plants, pruning bushes, or weeding can be featured. This encourages participants to talk about their experiences with these tasks and share tips with one another.

Tools or plant spaces

Another fun twist on Gardening Bingo is to include squares that represent different tools or plant spaces in the garden. This can include items such as a trowel, watering can, raised bed, or trellis. By focusing on tools or plant spaces, participants can discuss the importance of each item and how they use them in their own gardens.
