Summer Discovery Days

Learn and play together in the Discovery Garden! Hands-on stations throughout this area encourage families, school groups, and camp groups to explore nature alongside our teenage Garden Apprentices.

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 above 90 degrees. Check this page for updates.
