Do you enjoy children and nature? Would you like to learn more about plants with other curious adults? Come find out what's involved in leading school children in outdoor explorations in our beautiful gardens and woods.
Take A Child Outside Week
September 24-30, 2010
Tower Hill Botanic Garden is pleased to continue as a partner in this international initiative “to help children across the country develop a better understanding and appreciation of the environment in which they live, and a burgeoning enthusiasm for its exploration”, inspired by Richard Louv's book Last Child in the Woods. Visit www.takeachildoutside.org for more information or, better yet, visit Tower Hill, pick up a scavenger hunt, and take a child outside to explore and connect with the natural world of our gardens, fields, pond and woods!
Putting the Youth Gardens to Bed

Help us prepare the Youth Gardens for the next year's season and learn more about the Youth Gardening Program.

Snacks will be provided and everyone will go home with a pumpkin, gourd or winter squash, and maybe more.
