Come explore the gardens on Wednesday mornings!
Your little one will look for wildlife, listen to the wind and the creek, touch a thimble-berry leaf, water the Children's Discovery Garden and maybe even eat a raspberry right off the vine! Our wonderful guides will then read a story and help the children craft something fun. Each week is different with seasonal themes.
Wednesdays 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
2-5 year olds, each child must be accompanied by an adult.
This year, hikes begin Wednesday February 6, 2019 and end December 10, 2019.
Cost: $3.00 per child, non-walkers and adults free. Please bring exact change. Punch cards now available in the Gift Shop next to the Manor House: buy 5 hikes and get 6th one FREE!
