Growing in the Garden: "Look Up, Look Down, Autumn Colors All Around"

Macculloch Hall Historical Museum presents its
hands-on program for preschool-age children “Growing in the Garden” this October.
This program meets twice a month on Tuesday afternoons, to visit the garden at
Macculloch Hall and explore environmental topics through a story, walk in the
garden and art projects.



Red, orange, yellow—the colors of autumn are all
around the garden at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum.  Join in the fun on Tuesday, October 15 from
1:15 to 2 p.m. when children ages 3 - 5 years old play leaf games in the garden
and learn what happens inside the trees to cause the leaves to change
color.  In addition to visiting the
garden, children will hear a story about autumn leaves, and trace and create an
autumn color collage to take home.



“Growing in the Garden” is a year-round program meeting
twice a month at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum.  The program lasts 45 minutes from 1:15pm –
2pm.  There are limited spaces, pre-registration
is required.  The cost for the program is
$8 per pair (child and caregiver) for Museum members and $12 per pair for
