Children's Birthday Parties
Be green with a sustainable birthday party for your child at the Gardens. The birthday child and his or her friends will explore the Gardens and learn about plants in exciting ways. We provide everything you need to make your party a success, while minimizing impact on our planet. All you need to bring is your child’s favorite food.
