Immerse yourself in the beauty of the Helen S. Layer Rhododendron Garden, where more than 3,000 rhododendrons and azaleas bloom in a 20-acre woodland setting. Activities include a family nature hunt, kid crafts, expert advice on growing and caring for rhododendrons and a presentation by woodcarver Dan Sammon, who created the garden’s Guardians of the Garden sculpture from the stump of the 150-year-old Red Oak. Tours of the garden will also be available, led by a Holden expert, every half hour starting at 1pm.
Other activities will include:
● Family nature hunt: - enjoy and explore via prompts by our Nature Scavenger Hunt; pick up our list of clues near the gate, roam the garden at your own pace and discover yourself in nature!
● Kids’ craft -make a tissue take-home rhododendron and leave the live blossoms for others to enjoy!
● Growing and Caring for Rhododendrons - an informational display with access to expert advice to help you grow your own beautiful plants.
