Family and Youth Programs

Drop-in Activities

These fun, family-friendly programs will happen periodically throughout the year. We will meet in our Children's Garden for some hands-on fun! These programs are free with admission to the Gardens. Some require registration so we can plan for supplies.

Little Sprouts is a drop-in activity geared toward children up to early elementary age. We'll gather in the Children's Garden and spend time on stories, activities and crafts.

This program is free with membership or admission to Wellfield. Tuesday free admission for Elkhart County residents applies, pre-registration recommended.

StoryWalk®

Enjoy this year's book, ***, while you walk around our main promenade.

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration the Kellogg Hubbard Library. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson. Wellfield Botanic Gardens wishes to thank the Elkhart Public Library for their collaboration of bringing StoryWalk® to Wellfield for our guests to enjoy! Stories are changed out seasonally, and all StoryWalk® titles (current and prior, while they last) are available for purchase in our gift shop.

We ❤️ our volunteers and community partners!

Without our volunteers and community partners, these free programs would not be possible!
