Garden Storytime
- Friday, May 22, 2026 — 10 am - 11 am
Bring your family and join us for a morning of outdoor garden fun!
Garden Storytimes are a great way for families with preschool children to experience the garden. The program begins at the Bobby G. Wilder Visitor Center where where we will get ready for a fun time outside together. Then, you'll take a stroll through the garden with Children's Program staff and volunteers to see all that is happening in the garden, read a couple children's books with a garden twist, and go home with a garden-themed craft created by your little one.
Please come dressed for the weather, as this program is held outdoors. In the case of rain, activities are moved to a sheltered location. Caregivers stay with children during the program and are encouraged to participate.
