Get colorful tie-dyeing a t-shirt at the Family Art Project. A welcome session on Zoom provides an introduction to birding, just as spring birds are starting to return to the gardens. Take a Public Garden Walk and see what’s blooming now. Enjoy the outdoors, nature and bloom into spring with us!

Grasses and perennials provide the necessary habitat for overwintering wildlife. Early spring is the perfect time to cut back these plants before the new growth appears. Join Associate Director of Horticulture Steven Conaway in this outdoor workshop to learn how to properly cut back these plants, what tools to use and what wildlife prefers this type of habitat.
