Rob and I just visited the Royal Botanical Garden (RBG) in Ontario. Gardens provide many sources of inspiration. Look at their Children’s programs. During our visit, a docent was explaining how to repot plants. RGB has a large natural playground. Plan ahead to see what amenities and activities are available. Plan a picnic or look for a nearby playground to visit after the garden tour. Look for free tours. When we lived in Winchester, the Glen Bernie Gardens were open for free tours at least once a year. Blandy Experimental Farm, an Arboretum, nearby, has free tours. Colleges, such as Clemson’s SC Botanical Garden often have free garden tours. Try a few, small garden tours to see if your family likes these visits before you tackle a big garden, such as Longwood Gardens or The Washington State Arboretum.
