January Second Saturday: Water

Free Family Event - January Second Saturday: “Water”

Gamble Garden welcomes you to spend a wintry January morning with us! Did you know water for the plants in our garden comes from three sources: rain, groundwater, and snowmelt? Come learn more as you explore the garden with us on Second Saturday.

For Families: Free Guided Nature Hunts

Go on a guided nature hunt to find flowing fountains and whimsical bird baths and discover what makes each one special. Our hands-on nature activity tables let young scientists explore cool properties of water and gain a first hand understanding of the water cycle. These activities are ideal for families with children ages 3-12.

For Adults: Free Guided Garden and House Tours

Enjoy an in-depth tour of Gamble’s watershed and rain gardens. And take a look inside Elizabeth’s historic house and horticultural library. Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer your questions.
