Tips and Reminders to Help You and Your Family Get the Most Out of the Program

  • The activities and materials used in the workshop are appropriate for the age range listed in the program description.
  • All individuals present for the workshop must be registered. Due to limited classroom space and materials, we are unable to accommodate non-participating adults and children.
  • Family Workshop programs are designed to be hands-on and engaging for both the registered children and adults. We encourage both adults and children to work together to learn from each other.
  • The hands-on nature and exploratory aspect of our programs sometimes leads to messy discovery. Dress in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.  
  • Some Family Workshop Programs have tasting components. If you or your child have any allergy concerns, please contact familyprograms@botanicgardens.org for a detailed list of the items your child may be tasting or handling during the program.
  • We ask that you limit personal phone use during the program. You are welcome to take pictures of your child in class with your phone.
