2026 Schedule
Habitat Helpers
Become a habitat hero and make a difference! Discover what it takes to create your own backyard wildlife sanctuary. Every animal needs food, water and shelter to feel at home. Let’s plant native plants to attract pollinators, design shelters for insects, and create feeding stations for birds. If you build it, they will come.
Sherman Sleuths
Grab you magnifying glass and detective’s cap and head over to Sherman. A mystery lies before you and you will need to use all of your five senses to follow the clues. We will sharpen our observational skills, find hidden spots on the map, and answer riddles to learn all about animals and plants in the garden.
Adventurous Artists
Summer is a time to let loose and get creative. Let unique shapes, colors, and textures in our garden be your inspiration. Try your hand at watercolors, mixed media, sculpting, and more. Discover the artist within and bring home your own masterpieces.
