Digging alongside Historic Columbia horticulturists, families will learn about historic gardening techniques and plant several types of summer flowering bulbs – such as Irises, Spider Lilies, Milk and Wine Lilies, and Day Lilies- throughout the newest two-acre addition to the gardens at the Hampton-Preston Mansion.

Following the gardening activity, families will learn about the wonders of plants and how they grow! Enjoy a spring themed story time in the gardens before participating in a sedimentary sensory take-home activity. Afterwards, compete in a friendly bulb toss and bulb spoon race! The Robert Mills Grounds and Gardens will also be open to explore with a scavenger hunt.
