Hen Party Gardening
If the people in your hen party enjoy being outside in nature and like to get their hands dirty (literally!) then some sort of gardening could be a perfect activity for a few hours together.
Gardening can take on many forms, depending on what you like. You could be taking care of flowers, planting seeds to grow vegetables, planting trees, or digging in a community garden.
A Mindful Activity
Getting everyone outside for a couple of hours is always really good for you. Gardening is known to be a relaxing and mindful activity, which will bring everyone at your hen do closer to each other in a gentle way.
Plus, it’s sustainable however you approach it as you’ll be increasing biodiversity and helping to care for local nature, as well as doing an activity that doesn’t generate any extra waste.
A cheap hen party activity
This is such a fantastic activity for hen parties because you can make it almost free, or very cheap.
You could simply get out into your garden at home together, or buy some kits to plant something new to take home afterwards.
Volunteering at a local garden or farm might come with a small cost or contribution for materials, but will still be a really affordable option for your hens - with a bonus that you’re giving back to the community as well.
How to plan gardening for your hen party
This activity can be scaled to suit your hen party plans - whether you want to order some growing kits to plant at home or at the venue you’re staying, or spend some time volunteering at a bigger community garden.
We’ve collaborated with gardens and farms around the UK so you can do this activity wherever you’re planning to celebrate. Just choose from the featured partners on this page to find one that suits you.
If you want to garden in local spaces we recommend you check with the local authority before you just get out there, but many of them may have volunteering options for you.
