Tuesdays · 10:00–11:00 AM July 7 – September 1 Join us for Growing Gardeners, a weekly story and craft program presented in partnership with the Hyde Park Free Library District, Staatsburg Library, and Adriance Memorial Library. Designed for children entering 1st through 3rd grade, this engaging program connects stories, nature, and hands-on creativity. Each week, a guest librarian will read a garden-themed story, followed by a fun, age-appropriate craft led by a BFGA volunteer. Programs take place outdoors on the lawn inside the Walled Garden (weather permitting), or in the pavilion during hot or rainy conditions. Families are encouraged to stay and enjoy the garden together. Free parking, restrooms, and a water refill station are available at the nearby Wallace Center. Advance registration is requested.
