Children and Family Make and Take Programs
Program Overview
Children and Family Make and Take programs offer a space for children and their grownups to connect with natural materials and create together. These self-guided and self-paced programs are designed to provide a creative environment that sparks imagination. The Gardens provides the space and supplies. You and your family provide the ideas and creativity!

Tips and Reminders to Help You and Your Family Get the Most Out of the Program
The materials used during the program are appropriate for the age range listed in the program description.
Children and Family Make and Take 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.
- Most groups spend between 30 minutes to an hour creating their projects. Groups are encouraged to explore the Gardens on their own after completing their projects.
- 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.
