Kids and Families
Families, don’t miss the Children’s Garden, where kids can get hands-on and experience the science of nature up close. In this garden, it’s encouraged to explore, touch the plants, and dig in the dirt!
Elsewhere, young visitors can embark on expeditions, using field journals and other on-site activities designed to uncover the amazing world of plants.
