summer tours and events
tour and explore - june 29 and july 20, 10-11 am
These sessions provide an accessible, child-friendly introduction to the Demonstration Gardens. Smell aromatic bee balm, watch birds flit in the brush fence, see how bees find a place to nest. Learn how to garden to support our native pollinators, butterflies, and birds. Come to both sessions -- the garden is never the same twice! Audience: Children ages 6-12 accompanied by an adult.
so long summer shindig - August 24, 10AM - 2pm
Join SBG and Centre Parks and Rec to say “so long” to summer with tours and hands-on activities at the SBG. Butterfly activity is abundant and birds are getting ready for the fall and winter. Audience: All ages
autumn tour - september 22, 1-2 pm
The garden in September is full of color and life. Many butterfly species remain active and monarchs are migrating. We might spot some migrant birds too. If conditions permit, we'll conclude with a live tagging of monarchs! Audience: All ages
