Join us on the second Saturday of each month for our one-hour, hands-on Family Workshops, where families come together to create, discover, and connect.

From spring through fall, enjoy a fun, 30-minute guided Family Nature Stroll through our Gardens. Along the way, use provided exploration tools to experience nature up close and see Longwood through a new lens.
