Cub Scout Make and Take: Tabletop Greenhouse Gardens

All levels of Cub Scouts are invited to join us at the Gardens for a spring seed planting project. Each Cub Scout will plant seeds in eco-friendly recycled seed starting pots and then build a miniature tabletop greenhouse to take home. After completing the planting activity enjoy the Gardens with a scavenger hunt that explores plants as they prepare for the changing seasons.

Make and Take Programs are self-guided and self-paced programs that provide a creative environment for Cub scouts to explore a nature based topic while creating a hands on project. 

Date and Times: April 11, 10 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. or 1 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. most groups spend 60 - 90 minutes completing their project and exploring the Gardens.

Fee: $14 per Cub Scout; 1 group leader per 5 Cub Scouts is admitted free of charge. Additional adults and non-participating siblings are an addtional $7 each. Non-participating siblings do not participate in take home activities. Addtional adults and non-participating siblings are welcome to join the group during the program or explore the Gardens on their own.

Registration Instructions: Register 1 Group Leader for every 5 Cub Scouts registered. If your group is less than 5 Cub Scouts, please include 1 complimentary Group Leader Ticket with your registration. Only those registered as Cub Scouts will create a tabletop greenhouse. Siblings who would like to create a tabletop greenhouse should be registered as a Cub Scout. For questions regarding how to register your group, please contact familyprograms@botanicgardens.org.

Location: York Street; this program takes place indoors. You are welcome to explore the Gardens on your own after the program.
