Family-friendly activities and games will take place on Saturday, April 13th from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. culminating with an inspirational Butterfly Release at 3:30 p.m.  

Local and regional organizations and businesses will be on-site hosting booths that provide information about earth-friendly products, services, and opportunities.  Games, activities, engaging presentations, and live music provide entertainment for the whole family.

Enjoy the gardens in full bloom and view baby birds in their nests on Ruby Lake. Strolls through the garden provide relaxing escapes from the hustle and bustle.  Join us to revel in the beauty of the garden and celebrate mother earth!
