Summer Science Adventures

For children entering second through seventh grades

Come explore the world of plants with us in a science-packed program! Whether you've spent the morning gardening in the Children's Garden or are just joining us for the afternoon, Summer Science Adventures (SSA) is an exciting way to release your inner scientist. SSA focuses on science explorations, investigations, and creative projects. Examine plants from habitats like the tropical rainforest and the desert, conduct cool experiments, and have lots of fun! Register for one month or both. Students in the morning Children's Garden program bring a packed lunch to eat between 12:30 and 1 p.m. while supervised by SSA staff.
