Free Family Event – January Second Saturday: “Water”
Gamble Garden welcomes you to spend a wintry January morning with us! Did you know water for the plants in our garden comes from three sources: rain, groundwater, and snowmelt? Come learn more as you explore the garden with us on Second Saturday.
For Families: Free Guided Nature Hunts
Go on a guided nature hunt to find flowing fountains and whimsical bird baths and discover what makes each one special. Our hands-on nature activity tables let young scientists explore cool properties of water and gain a first hand understanding of the water cycle. These activities are ideal for families with children ages 3-12.
For Adults: Free Guided Garden and House Tours
Enjoy an in-depth tour of Gamble’s watershed and rain gardens. And take a look inside Elizabeth’s historic house and horticultural library. Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer your questions.
