Children's Garden & Education

Grow and learn in the Children's Garden!

Here children have up-close and personal interactions with the natural world--not as passive bystanders, but as active participants who touch, smell, taste, learn new vocabulary and develop observational and listening skills.

The playful, informal setting of the Garden and our hands-on, child-centered approach to teaching not only support a child's acquisition of new knowledge, but provide an environment that builds social, emotional, physical and creative competencies as well.

Learn about volunteer opportunities in the Children's Garden as a Children's Garden Player.
