There may not be many plants blooming in January at the Missouri Botanical Garden, but that doesn't mean you can't find color in the garden. At Great Green Adventures: Winter Color Walk, kids will search out common and not-so-common colors in the garden.
Great Green Adventures are drop-in activities that explore a special part of the Garden each month on the third Saturday. Learn about plants, nature and green living through hand-on activities, journaling, stories and games.
Great Green Adventures are designed for ages 6–12. Adults may accompany up to three children. Younger siblings may attend.
Meet at the Children’s Garden Ticket Fort. At the Missouri Botanical Garden.
