Learn and play together in the Discovery Garden! Hands-on stations throughout the garden’s courtyard, meadow, woodland, and marsh encourage families and school groups to explore nature alongside our volunteer Discovery Docents. This is a drop-in program for children of all ages. For school and camp groups, we request a ratio of no more than 10 children per adult. Included with Garden admission. All programs are outdoors and will be canceled in inclement weather, which includes rain and temperatures below 50 degrees. Check this page for updates.
