create an inspiring design for your mature garden and will help you

into reality.

Join us this summer in our Teaching
Garden, for storytime and a game. This
event is for ages 0-6 years, with a caregiver required to
be present at all times.
After storytime, we'll play a game
of Critter Bingo! Use your senses to find various animals and
insects who might be lurking in the garden and check them
off on a provided bingo card. Whoever gets a line on
their card will win a bug (imitation only!) to take home for their
garden.
Kids are encouraged to come dressed up as an
insect, bird or other animal.
Registration is required.
Please bring sunscreen, a snack and a reusable bottle of
water.
This event is limited
to ten families (one caregiver with up
to four children).
