Join us for Storytime in the Garden, a new nature-focused program for preschool-aged children and their caregivers at the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden. Each 30-minute session combines an engaging children’s book with songs, movement, and a simple nature activity or exploration in the Garden. Storytime is designed to help young children and their families connect what they hear in a story with the plants, nature, and discoveries around them.
