Take part in our W.O.N.D.E.R. programming every day at 10:30 a.m. on the Performance Lawn. W.O.N.D.E.R. encourages families to “Walk, Observe, Navigate, Draw, Explore, and Read in the Garden. Each month, this program features a unique theme; plus, kids may make a fun craft to take home as part of the experience.
For adults, there’s Dig Deeper, a twice-daily educational drop-in program in which you can learn a new skill, ask questions, and gain insight about a botanically-inspired topic. (Location and theme details can be found near Ticketing in the Eleanor and Nicholas Chabraja Visitor Center.)
Don’t forget to pick up a W.O.N.D.E.R. Activity Packs for the kids, also located in the Visitor Center, for a hands-on learning experience while strolling the Garden or at home. Each pack is centered around a monthly theme and features a Garden map, activity page, Junior Nature Journal, craft, and supplies to enjoy at your own pace.
Activity Packs are available in English and Spanish.
A highlight of the W.O.N.D.E.R. Activity Pack is the Tangled Trail, offering activities relating to our signature STICKWORK exhibition, and this season’s theme, “Intertwined,” which explores the relationships between plants, people, and the world around us.
