Second Saturday Celebrations
The second Saturday of the month includes a day of fun for the entire family in the Smith Children’s Garden complete with themed events, activities and crafts. From family gardening days, to Gnomes Celebration, and even a Dr. Seuss inspired day, you’ll want to mark your calendar for these days. November 2011 - April 2012. Upcoming Second Saturday Celebrations:
February 11, 2012 – Gnomes in the Children's Garden
The gnomes are returning! And it's a good thing too; gnomes are secret friends of nature who do good deeds for the environment without asking for recognition. Couldn't we learn a lot from gnomes? Today, find out how you can be a little more gnome-like! Don't forget to look for gnomes in the garden, too - you never gnome where they'll pop up!
Regular Garden admission.
March 10, 2012 – Swomee-Swans, Humming-Fish, and Brown Bar-ba-loots in the Children's Garden
Smogulous smoke, gluppity-glupp, and schloppity-schlopp are very real threats to our environment. Unless someone like you cares a whole lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. Today, celebrate Dr. Seuss', The Lorax, a timeless tale of conservation, and find out how you can be a real-life Lorax! You'll even get to plant your very own "Truffula Tree"!
Regular Garden admission.
April 14, 2012 – Music, Naturally
Make some joyful noise in the Smith Children's Garden today! A variety of natural materials will be available for constructing musical instruments - of course, we'll provide some guidance. Don't leave without planting some "future maracas" to take home!
Regular Garden admission.
