Plants and imaginations grow at the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden, where you're allowed (no, encouraged!) to play in the dirt. Dig for worms, plant seeds, and learn about foods grown on the other side of the world. Enjoy hands-on activities every day and come for special events like Scarecrow and Harvest Weekend. Or join the Children's Gardening Program, which gives you and a partner your very own garden plot to take care of. You'll find that gardening opens the door to a world of discovery and fun, and that the best flowers and vegetables are the ones you grow yourself!
For children aged 2 to 12.
Closed November through March.
New for 2011: Mario Batali’s Edible Garden at the Family Garden!
