They Came, They Saw, They Smurfed!

Posted in Around the Garden on August 5 2011, by Plant Talk

Last week we told you about some very special visitors coming to the Garden. Because last week was Smurf Week in New York City (in honor of the new movie The Smurfs ®), the Everett Children’s Garden played host to two of the hottest stars in Hollywood today: Papa Smurf and Smurfette. Check out this short video below highlighting their visit.

And just because the Smurfs are gone doesn’t mean the fun is over at the Children’s Garden. Right now the “Flowers to Fruits” program runs everyday (1:30-5:30 p.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. on weekends). Children can make a Nature Field Notebook and identify the dizzying diversity of flowers and pollinators that inhabit the Adventure Garden during the summer months. Create a pollinator puppet, pot up a plant, and visit the pond to spot frogs, turtles, and other wetland wildlife.
