    Hot Chocolate
  • Sweet! Discover why we love chocolate so much and learn how to make delicious chocolate treats. Then explore the conservatory on a scavenger hunt for the shapes and colors of Valentine’s Day.
    (Note: Hot Chocolate is a popular class; please register early to reserve your spot!)

  • March 17
    Blustery Day
  • As March winds signal spring, take a hike to look for signs of the season. Later, warm up inside while you compose a spring poem, make paper flowers to take home, or decorate a paper kite.

    Fairie Gardens & Troll Houses
  • Fairies and trolls are visiting us in early spring! Welcome them by helping us construct fairie dwellings for the Conservatory and the Gaffield Children’s Garden. Also, build a fairie garden and a troll house to coax these little folks into visiting your home.

Please visit our Community Education page to view our upcoming education class offerings including the programs detailed above.
