Green Bay Botanical Garden is pleased
to offer Summer Gardening Programs for children and families
again this year. We are especially excited about our new Summer
Garden Patch near the Gertrude B. Nielson Children's Garden.
These summer-long programs allow children and families to plant
and care for their own garden at home or at GBBG! |
