Week 1: Junior Botanists | July 6 – 10, 2026 | 9am–12pm
Junior Botanists will dive headfirst into each area of our living collections, starting with our fascinating Tropical Orchard specimens and ending on a note of Zen with beautiful Bonsais. Orchid dissections, grafting cacti and hands-on harvests in our beloved Farm Garden are what’s in store for these plant-y explorers. Each day, Junior Botanists will make, plant, or create a botanically relevant item to bring home.
Garden Explorers Summer Camp is designed for children ages 10-14. Learn more about our other camp weeks, as well as our camp policies, on our main Summer Camp page.
