Family Workshops

During each workshop, you and your family will be guided by an expert instructor to learn something new and experience a side of nature you may have never experienced before. From nature photography to how to plant a pollinator garden, your family will walk away with new knowledge and memories they will never forget.

Interactive Experience

StoryWalk® at the Pollinator Pathway

The Garden’s StoryWalk runs along the Pollinator Pathway, the strip of Garden that runs between the BRIT Building and the Garden Center. To read the story, begin at the Garden Center and head northeast. Since the Pathway is in the parking lot, the StoryWalk is free to all guests–although of course we encourage you to keep going into the Garden.
