S.E.E.D. Packs
S.E.E.D. Packs are activity filled backpacks created in four main themes: Discovery, Gardening, Birds and Butterflies, and Forestry. Within the Packs are short lessons that give participants some background information about a topic relating to the theme of the Pack, accompanied by a hands-on activity.

Children's Library in the Bill & Pat Larsen Children's Corner
The reading loft in the Bill and Pat Larsen Children’s Corner is now open! Stop out and be the first to read a book while lounging on a bean bag chair, put together a giant puzzle, play a garden game with your family, or put on a puppet show. This newly expanded indoor children’s area will provide a quiet place to cool down during the summer or a cozy spot to warm up after a walk in the winter garden.
GBBG’s Children’s Library, located in the Children’s Corner, is stocked with stories about plants, insects, frogs, birds, nature, gardening and more. Visitors are welcome to browse through the books while in the Children’s Corner, while GBBG members can check out books free for a two-week period.
Happy imagining!
