Garden Story Walk

"What Does Bunny See?"

  • Friday, April 30, 2021

Come out to the gardens for a Garden Story Walk. Enjoy a walk through the beautiful gardens and read a good story at the same time!

This story will be left in the gardens until Thursday, May 6, 2021.

Not familiar with Story Walks? Story Walks are self-guided experiences where pages of a book are displayed along a route. At each stop, read the next part of the story. There is no set time to start this experience and can be done at your own pace. We ask that you practice safe social distancing if other families are also participating in the Garden Story Walk at the same time as your family.

The StoryWalk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.

Bring April's Theme Alive at Home with a Garden Activity Kit



Each month we create an activity kit for families to connect with the month's theme. April's Garden Activity Kit features What's Inside A Flower? (And Other Questions About Science & Nature) by Rachel Ignotofsky. This book is easy to read and full of colorful pictures. Each page is packed with illustrations and labels - it's perfect for playing I Spy!

In addition to the book, April's Garden Activity Kit contains a wooden flower press to start your collection of pressed flowers, a pack of marigolds to plant in your garden, and a special creation of pressed flowers and leaves from the JCRA's gardens.

Limited number of kits are available for $20. Shipping is available for an additional fee. Visit our online registration e-store to order yours today!
