UPCOMING! Feb 18-23
Family Fairy House Hike and Build
Calling all nature lovers and creative spirits! Join us for a magical outdoor adventure that’s perfect for the whole family during school vacation! Embark on a hike through the woods, where you’ll be inspired by the beauty of nature and collect your own materials—twigs, moss, acorns, leaves, and more—to craft the perfect fairy house. After the hike, head back to the greenhouses where you’ll get to build your very own whimsical fairy house using all the natural treasures you’ve gathered. This hands-on workshop is a fun and creative way to connect with nature while tapping into your imagination.
Return your fairy house to us the last week of March (25th-31st), and we will display your creations during Fairy Garden Days (April 12-27)—this year’s theme is Fungarium: The Mushroom Museum! Think fairies, fungi, and the fantastic world where they both live! Don’t miss out on this family event, celebrating nature and art!
Cost: $75 for a group of up to four people; Members receive a 10% discount! Call (401) 680-5000 to get your discount code.
Materials will be provided (and foraged). Adults are welcome to bring their own snips/pruners to use (some snips/pruners provided). If you have any natural items to bring, please do!
