Preschool Story Thyme

Our weekly preschool program features engaging stories, nature exploration, hands-on gardening, crafts and other activities that nurture the youngest gardeners and their grownups.

Join us April through October every Tuesday, 10am-11am, for engaging stories, digging in the dirt, planting seeds, watering and harvesting. Our garden programming and books are tailored for preschool students, we welcome garden explorers of all ages (from babies to grandparents!). We begin with garden activities at the Every Child Outdoors (ECO) Garden, which can be accessed via our westernmost Boyds Bridge entrance at 2649 Boyds Bridge Pike. You can also park up at the Visitor Center and follow the path away from Wimpole Ave down the hill to your right.

NEW in 2024! We are thrilled to introduce a weekend version of our monthly our Story Thyme program on select Saturdays, 10am-11am. Mark your calendars and join us!
