Take time out as a family to connect with nature this autumn, with a family autumn foray. We will explore the woods, get closer to nature and learn more about it through discovery, wonder, identification, games, stories and crafting. This session follows the interest of the children and gives families ideas of things to do when they are out walking or things that they can do at home.
Gardens admission is included in this ticket, which will give you access to our Gardens, American Garden Deli and Gift Shop. If you would like to upgrade to full admission, please visit the ticket office after your session.
Sunday 17 November
