Grab your loved ones and head to the botanical garden for some hands-on family fun! Designed for families of all ages and stages, Growing Together in the Garden is a series of classes offered by the Botanical Garden this year that provides ample opportunity for sharing the love of gardening and learning how to incorporate new skills in your garden and at home. Gardening has been shown to have a multitude of social, cognitive, physical and emotional benefits for both children and adults. Every class allows for hands on exploration and follow-up activities for increased connection and understanding.
