Nature Nights

Roam the Garden after hours and uncover the mysteries
of nature at night!

Spend a night in the Garden enjoying the company of your family while participating in a variety of engaging discovery-based activities! Choose from one of several reoccurring “Nature Nights” themes (including Plant Art, Go Green, Season Celebrations, and Travel), or select a one-time topic (such as Bizarre Botany, Alien Invaders, and Eat Your Plants!). Each evening will include first-hand experience with natural specimens, travel throughout the Garden grounds, and a light dinner. Along with parents/guardians, older children are encouraged to participate to support and guide their younger siblings.

Check back for programs starting in 2009!

Ages: Families with children ages 4-10

Time: 5 – 8 p.m. on selected evenings
