Discovering Trees
There are so many wonderful trees in and around the gardens. All so beautiful and unique, and a big part of what makes our gardens special. Join us for November’s Outdoor Adventures: Discovering Trees, as we work as citizen scientists to study trees, their leaves, and how they help our environment.
Outdoor Adventures Classes – Join us in the gardens as you and your family explore and learn about the outdoor world through crafts, scavenger hunts, activity sheets and displays. Each program will focus on a specific theme, and our Van Vleck Education team will guide your family through this interactive learning experience. This program is entirely outdoors, weather dependent.
Registration is required by the day before the class and includes everything you need to participate in the program. Designed for children ages 4 -11 but all are welcome.
FREE for Members of Van Vleck; $15 per family for General Public
