The Everett Children s Adventure Garden is made possible by the leadership generosity of Edith and Henry Everett.
Children explore plants.
In winter, kids celebrate Tropical Treasures , making chewing gum from the sap of the sapodilla tree and contrasting tropical plants with northeastern forests by pressing evergreen specimens in the Bendheim Kids Herbarium. Visit a mini tropics in the Bendheim Global Greenhouse, where the tropical plant collection is lush and inviting. The Children s Gardening program encourages the discovery of natural environments through gardening and nature study activities. Children can register to tend their own garden plots filled with vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Guided by instructors, development of the whole child is emphasized as youngsters garden with a partner in groups of children their own age.
