We’re With You This Spring
As we all navigate this unpredictable time and continue to heed restrictions on public gatherings, BBG’s spring programs, including all Children’s Garden programs through June 30, have been cancelled. We will announce any updates to summer program offerings by the end of May.
We are here to help if you would like to receive a refund, apply your registration fee to a future class, or donate your registration fee to help support the Garden. Thank you for considering applying your fees to a future class or donating. Every contribution helps ensure the future of Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s collections and programming. If you would like a refund, please reach out to Registration at 718-623-7220 or [email protected].

Learn about the wonders of gardening with your two- or three-year-old during this active hands-on program. Our youngest gardeners work with their adult partner to tend to their garden plots, sing songs, taste new foods, and create nature crafts.
Seeds work together in small groups to care for their garden plots and participate in cooking, exploring the wonderful outdoors, crafting, and other fun activities. This is a drop-off program.
City Farmers dig gardening! Students develop basic horticulture skills to bring garden plots to life with fresh, seasonal vegetables and enjoy crafting, cooking, nature exploration, and other hands-on activities.
Go behind the scenes of Brooklyn’s most treasured cultural institutions—Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Children’s Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library, Prospect Park Alliance, and Prospect Park Zoo—in this two-week summer day camp. Every day, BCAP Adventurers travel to two cultural sites on the BCAP campus for hands-on workshops that weave connections between art, science, culture, and the environment. Register early—camp starts filling up in February. Financial aid available.
