Calling all nature-loving families—come grow with us! Enjoy happy, healthy family time in the great outdoors.

Life doesn’t have to be rushed. It doesn’t have to be jam-packed with work, school, activities, lessons, events and meetings. It really doesn’t. We invite all families to take a big, deep breath this year, preferably amid the wonders of nature.

Budding Artist: Join us each season as we make a nature journal or learn about an artist who was inspired by nature, explore the Garden and pot up a plant to take home. Budding Artist programs occur each season on Sunday afternoons.

Budding Scientist: Join us each season to explore and observe in the Garden as we become a Budding Scientist. Budding Scientist programs occur throughout the year during school breaks.

Budding Writer: Come try your hand at different forms of writing and experience how nature inspires creativity. Each session will include an exploration of part of the Garden. Budding Writer occurs on weekends throughout the year.

Budding Chef: Join us for fun in the kitchen as we explore herbal and botanical-inspired recipes. Young chefs will gain confidence by learning and practicing basic cooking and baking skills. Budding Chef programs occur on weekends throughout the year.
