The leaves changing color doesn't signal the end of discovery at QBG.

Learn about nutrition by making scrumptious food from our harvested crops, identify animals such as QBG's resident red tail hawk.

Fee: $160, $144 for members
SPRING
Each spring, children's imaginations and learning blossom as they: plant vegetables and flowers, harvest lettuce, spinach and radishes, visit the bee garden and design their own fantasy garden space, make mother's day cards with paper they've seeded with parsley and basil.
