ACTIVITIES
NEW! Garden Par-Tea
Cheers! In this botanical tea party, children make their own tea blends with herbs and flowers brewed in fine china! Partygoers will learn the traditional uses of these ingredients and take a walk in the Garden to see them growing in nature. Available year-round.
Winter Wonderland
Perfect for winter birthdays! Little ones learn how to make snow out of eco-friendly ingredients. They go out in the Garden on a hunt for pine cones and other treasures (weather permitting) to add to their own magical winter terrarium! As an alternative, the group takes a tour of the Greenhouse to learn the difference between deciduous, evergreen, and tropical plants. Available winter.
Flowers & Friends
Children express creativity and connect to nature by planting an annual flower in a pot they painted themselves! Available year-round.
Bugging Out Over Butterflies
Children learn about butterflies and make their own butterfly feeder to take home! Then, they put on wings and mingle with real pollinators during free play among the butterflies in the Garden. Available spring and summer.
Presto Pizza Garden!
The little ones learn about plants and veggies that make pizza so tasty, and make their own mini pizza, personalizing it with the fresh herbs they just learned about. Available year-round.
Playful Pumpkins
Perfect for fall birthdays! After children learn about squashes, they get to pick their very own pumpkin from QBG’s Pumpkin Patch (in October) to bring inside and paint playful faces. Available fall.
