All-Abilities Discovery Programs

Visitors with disabilities and their families can explore and play in the Discovery Garden alongside trained volunteer Discovery Docents. Explore the garden at your own pace and participate in multisensory activities.

Hands-on exhibits feature sound, visual, and tactile elements designed for accessibility. Help plant, harvest, and compost; touch and smell plants; create a craft using natural materials; and pot up a plant to take home!
