Once Upon a Garden

Step into a world of stories, nature, and imagination at Rotary Botanical Gardens! Once Upon a Garden is a playful one-hour experience for children ages 4–7 and their grown-ups, blending storytime with movement, music, dramatic play, hands-on crafts, and sensory exploration. Each session brings a story to life while children create, pretend, and discover both indoors and out in the Gardens. It’s a joyful way to learn, explore, and make memories together in every season.

Play and Learn at Rotary Botanical Gardens’ popular youth program series.
