Toddler & Preschool Programs
The Gardens’ programs for toddlers and preschoolers focus on hands-on experiences with nature that stimulate the senses and meet the developmental needs of the whole child while fostering a lifelong appreciation for plants and the natural world. Instructors guide young budding naturalists and their caregivers through playful garden explorations, art projects, planting activities and more.
