Nature Kids: Bee Hotels and Mini Habitats

About

Build a home for bees and bugs Join us for Nature Kids, a hands-on, family-friendly workshop series designed to spark curiosity and creativity in the great outdoors! Each session begins with an adventure in the garden, where children, along with their parents, will explore, collect nature treasures, and learn about the plants, animals, and seasonal wonders around them. Back at the learning tent, we’ll transform our discoveries into simple, nature-inspired crafts using leaves, flowers, seeds, stones, and more. Perfect for nature lovers of all ages, these workshops encourage kids to observe, imagine, and engage with the natural world in a fun and interactive way. Sessions are held throughout the summer and early fall, with unique activities each time—come for one or join us for the whole series. These activities are designed for ages 5 and up. Did you know that many insects, like ladybugs and solitary bees, need safe places to rest? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll gather twigs, pine cones, and other natural materials to build small shelters for helpful garden bugs. Kids will learn about pollinators and why insects are an important part of a healthy ecosystem. Tickets Adult and teen tickets are $5 for members (with member discount code) and $20 for non-members which includes an all day pass to the gardens. Children 12 and under get into the gardens free and pay a materials fee of $5 for the workshop. Recommended for age 5 and older.
