Boxerwood Gardens: Nature Center and Woodland Garden
All Fall Down - (Fall) During their very first visit to Boxerwood, children gather leaves, acorns, seeds—what falls from trees in Fall. They’ll learn an acorn song, create autumn art, and play on our Play Trail.
Color Hike - (Spring) Like All Fall Down, this spring season basket walk is designed for very young children who are exploring Boxerwood for the first time. Hikers bring along crayons and find plants with flowers, stems or leaves that match the crayon colors. After a small art project, they’ll have a chance to play on our Play Trail.
The Sky is Falling! - (Fall) Preschoolers join Chicken Little and her animal friends as they spread the bad news, "The sky is falling!" In the end it is a squirrel who teaches everyone a lesson about acorns and what happens after trees drop them. Before heading back to school, your little chicks make acorn stamp art and spend time on the Play Trail.
Long Winter's Nap - (Winter) Preschoolers learn about hibernation firsthand from Woochuck Chuck, a drowsy groundhog who wakes up briefly from his long winter's nap to visit them. Chuck and his puppet side-kick, Chatter the Squirrel, will be making the rounds, burrow and all, to preschool classrooms.
