Join us any day for Meet The Gardens: A Treasure Map. You may download the map activity by visiting www.bbgardens.org/treasure. Search for treasures in our living museum including pollinators, summer vegetables, fragrant herbs; even Japanese Garden elements such as the torii, Moon Bridge and Japanese maples with leaves which may remind you of stars. To dig deeper, make sure to reserve a Discovery Backpack. New this summer, you can explore the many gardens on your map, but our backpack will have you prepared to take a cool summer stop to wonder at water lilies. Search for a summer starburst of colorful floating flowers as you are inspired by the story of The Magical Garden of Claude Monet by Lawrence Anholt to create your own water lily in water color. To reserve your Discovery Backpack contact Ellen Hardy, education program coordinator, at ehardy@ bbgardens.org or 205.414.3953. We look forward to helping you make The Gardens a fun, interactive and educational part of your summer. Make sure to put us on your map remember, we’re free!
