Spring Family Discovery Days

Learn and play together in the Discovery Garden! Hands-on stations in the courtyard encourage families to explore nature alongside our volunteer Discovery Docents. Be sure to explore our meadow, woodland, and marsh habitats, too!

This is a drop-in program for families with children of all ages. 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.
