Listen for the call of the ringmaster as you watch the colorful railroad cars bring the “Big Top” to the garden. Free with general admission. 

Soft, rough, sharp, or gritty. What do these words have in common? They describe textures! Join us as we touch all kinds of native plants and learn why they feel the way they do. Activities will include crafts you can take home. All ages. Free with general admission. 

Join a guided tour of our eclectic collection that sports a wide variety of native tree specimens, from huge tulip poplars to the smaller pitch pine and paw paw.  A worldwide interest in native plantings sets the stage to view a selection of trees, native to our area that are well-suited to local growing conditions. Native trees provide vital support — food, shelter, and habitat —for insects and other local wildlife. Free with general admission. 

Do you have a favorite color? Maybe you’ll see that color at this SENSE-sational Friday as we explore native plants with bright colors! There will be brightly colored crafts to take home as well! All ages. Free with general admission.
