We're excited to bring the TinkerGarten program to our garden-loving community!
Designed for kids ages 11/2 to 8, TinkerGarten offers fun, hands-on learning experiences right in the great outdoors. While enjoying our beautiful Nursery & Display Gardens, kids can explore, play, and connect with nature, all while benefiting from increased time outside. 🌞
From discovering the wonders of plants and insects to enjoying imaginative play, TinkerGarten fosters a lasting connection to nature, all while helping little ones grow and learn.
Come join us on Fridays for some outdoor fun and watch your child blossom!

Today we’ll open our treasure box and offer kids ways to play that activate various behavioral schema (i.e. transforming, trajectory, rotation, connecting, transporting). We’ll explore how these play patterns support our focus.

Past Events
October 4th | Stone Stories
From fossils to the layers we find inside rocks, stones can tell us stories about the earth where we live and play. We’ll offer kids four ways to explore stones: lizard rocks, rock washing, stacking/arranging, and excavating.
October 11th | Weather Walk
Today we’ll zoom out to focus on something that is always around and always changing—the weather! With the help of printed weather cards, a few props, and our imaginations, we’ll go on a “weather walk” and practice adjusting to the weather.
