Children & Families | Naples Botanical Garden

Garden Adventures!

Before you venture onto the pathway, pick up a W.O.N.D.E.R. Activity Pack at the Chabraja Visitor Center with materials specially created by our Garden educators. Or drop by the W.O.N.D.E.R. table to join us for a daily activity that encourages families to Walk, Observe, Navigate, Draw, Explore, and Read.

W.ON.D.E.R. Monthly Themes

December – Tree-mendous Trees

Take a break from decorating your holiday tree and hang out with the trees that make Naples Botanical Garden special. Count the rings in a tree cookie, read stories, and plant your very own Tree-mendous Tree to take home.

January – Feathered Friends
Beaks, feathers, and wings, oh my! Discover the world of birds this month. Explore feathers up-close and create your own pair of binoculars to search out birds on the fly. Encourage a bird-friendly habitat in your own backyard by planting some Florida-native fiddlewood seeds.

February – Super Plants
Love is in the air, and so are plants! Turn your attention from the ground to learn about air plants, epiphytes, and orchids—what we affectionately refer to as Super Plants.

Join us for a  FREE  Sensory-Friendly Saturday for families with autism spectrum disorder or other sensory processing needs.

Experience the peacefulness and fun of the Garden with disturbances minimized. An air-conditioned take-a-break space will be provided, as well as hands-on activities for the whole family! Free admission applies between 4-6pm only.

RSVP HERE for Sensory-Friendly Saturday on January 15, 2022
