(6-Adult) $12 per person. Code J7N.1CJS
Family Fun - Growing Green with Recycled Things
1pm – 2pm
Inspired by Disney-Pixar’s WALL·E, this hands-on workshop invites you to imagine a greener future—starting with your trash. Learn how to transform everyday discarded items like cans, bottles, or jars into creative, eco-friendly planters. Just like WALL·E discovers hope in a single plant, you’ll plant your own seedling in a recycled container and take home a symbol of renewal. We'll explore how plants help restore the planet and how small actions—like reusing and growing green—can make a big impact. Bring a clean item to upcycle, or choose one from our collection or rescued items. (8-Adult) $15 per person. Code 9GS.QC8R
Movie at the Gardens: WALL·E
2:30pm - 4:30pm
Take a peaceful stroll through the tropical plants in the glasshouse, then settle in for an indoor screening of WALL·E (2008) in Green Spring Gardens’ Horticulture Center. Follow the lovable robot on his journey through a post-apocalyptic Earth, where a single plant holds the key to humanity’s future. Bring your own blanket and cushions for a cozy seat. Popcorn included with admission. Other refreshments and concessions will be available for purchase. Children under 2 years old do not need to register. (All Ages) $15 per person. Code T6N.CM6V
