2012 Summer Weekly Children's Garden

The Children's Garden is THE place for hands-on discovery, creativity, growing adventures, and nature fun. It's a place where kids get to taste their accomplishments, use their imaginations, and build friendships while tending a kid-sized plot of flowers and vegetables throughout the summer. Keep up with happenings at the Children's Garden all year long through our new blog at http://mnarboretumchildrensgarden.wordpress.com. All participants are invited to an evening garden celebration on Wednesday, August 15, 6-8 p.m. Fee includes snack, project supplies, Children's Garden t-shirt, and cookbook.
