own vegetables and flowers

• Explore the gardens and woods of Tower Hill
• Optional: Participate in a country fair and Tower Hill’s harvest fair, “Shades of Autumn”

School and Youth Programs

School and Youth Group Programs meet the needs of individual classrooms, scout and other youth groups with hands-on, 1 - 2 hour investigations linked to state and school curricula, or badge requirements. If your group is interested in a less structured visit, one hour group tours are also available year round, as well as group rates if you wish to explore on your own.

Advance registration required.
