Join us at the Beatrix Farrand Garden in Hyde Park for Growing Gardeners, a free weekly story and craft program presented in partnership with the Hyde Park, Staatsburg, and Adriance Memorial Libraries. Designed for children entering 1st through 3rd grade, this fun-filled program connects stories, nature, and hands-on creativity, with kids bringing home a story to share and a cool nature-focused craft.
Tuesdays · 10:00–11:00 AM July 7 – September 1
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. Groups will be limited in size. link: Reserve for Growing Gardeners series
