Celebrate Everett Children’s Adventure Garden’s 5th Birthday

The Everett Children’s Adventure Garden celebrates five years of educating children, their families, and their teachers with a wide range of fun and engaging programs and exhibits. The Adventure Garden is a destination for children to experience plant science and freely explore nature. From the moment the Adventure Garden opened its doors to the public in May of 1998 it has been a celebration. In the past 5 years, the Adventure Garden has become one on the Garden’s great treasures.

The Adventure Garden is considered to be an innovative and cutting-edge children’s garden: a 12-acre hands-on indoor/outdoor children’s museum with its interactive learning landscapes devoted solely to the study and playful exploration of plant science. You won’t want to miss any of the fun this month.

FOR FAMILIES

NEW! Nature’s Ice Cream Parlor: Every Weekend in May 1:30-5:00 p.m. Learn about the plant parts that give this treat its fantastic flavors. From all-time favorites like vanilla and chocolate, to exotic flavors like pistachio and coconut—you have plants to thank for the flavors. Children participate in special activities like making and tasting fruity ice cream flavors! Kids top off their Nature’s Ice Cream Parlor experience by making their own “plant part” sundae adding different plant treats including nuts, chocolate, berries, and spices.

NEW! Put Your Plants On Exhibit in the Bendheim Global Herbarium–Opens Saturday May 3rd!

Put Your Plants On! is a new exhibit in the Bendheim Global Greenhouse at the Adventure Garden. Children have fun learning how plants become the textiles used to make fabrics, clothes and even shoes. Children discover exotic plants and plant parts, watch live silkworms, weave plant-based fibers at the giant loom and try on clothes and accessories made from a closet full of plants!

Coming Up In June…

NEW! Flower Power: June 14 -September 14, 2003, 10-6 p.m.

Flowers are a feast for the senses, and we’ve got them in abundance! Visit the Adventure Garden and experience the dizzying diversity of color, fragrance, shape, and size found among our blossoms. As children travel along the floral trail they experience the world of flowers through the eyes of a pollinator and use their senses to search the Garden for favorite flowers, while learning about the interaction of plants and animals.

FOR TEACHERS

The Sara Lee Schupf Summer Institutes provide a weeklong intensive immersion in ecology and botanical science led by professional scientists and educators.
