Bring your favorite preschooler to the arboretum for this series of programs designed for the budding nature explorer. Just because it’s winter, doesn’t mean there isn’t any exploring to be done outside and in the gardens.
Each week young people along with a favorite grownup will explore different gardens around The Frelinghuysen Arboretum and learn just how important plants are and how they do what they do. Each walk will include an
activity and a story. Garden Sprouts will be lead by Master Gardeners Ingrid Witty and Lily Mehl.
Spending time outside should be fun for both children and adults. A growing wave of research shows that children who spend time outdoors are healthier overall than their indoor counterparts. Garden Sprouts allows pre‐schoolers and their “big people” time together in which they discover that, at any given moment, something wonderful and exciting is happening outside. Using plants, both indoors and outdoors, The Frelinghuysen Arboretum engages your child’s curiosity and starts the development of an appreciation for the natural world.
These programs, for pre‐schoolers ages 3 through kindergarten, feature outdoor garden walks, crafts or other learning activities that will introduce young children to the world of plants and nature. Dress for indoor and outdoor time.
All children must be accompanied by an adult
