Our greenhouses are decked out in holiday decor with brightly decorated trees and over 2000+ poinsettias. It’s a great place to share some holiday cheer with friends, family, and all your favorite plants. We have three train exhibits. A Nordic train, a traditional holiday train, and one that’s inspired by the City of Providence! You can find a miniature Botanical Center and a miniature Superman Building if you look closely.
Wreath Making Workshop
Kicking off All Aboard the Holidays, our month of holiday festivities, we’re hosting Wreath Making Workshops from Friday Nov 29 through Sunday, Dec 1. Our team has been prepping baskets of glittery, shiny, and natural materials from our gardens to make your wreaths extra special this year.
Each day there will be two timeslots available:
– 10am-12:00pm
– 12:30pm-2:30pm
For each reservation, you and one other person will be able to build one wreath using specially prepared materials from our Botanical Center gardens! Book your timeslot online to reserve your wreath. Spots are limited, so reserve yours in advance.
Brady’s Famous Hot Chocolate Stand
To close out All Aboard for the Holidays, we’re excited to host Brady’s Famous Hot Chocolate Stand at the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center! (As seen on the Today Show!) On Jan 4 and 5, visitors can spread a little sweetness with a toasty delicious drink. Four-year old Brady and his parents’ will be serving treats and hot chocolate with any generous donations going towards coats for the unhoused. Hot chocolate and treats are free with the cost of admission.
