most beautiful Victorian glasshouse. It features the permanent

The
Everett Children’s Adventure Garden
12-acre indoor/outdoor living museum of nature discovery
with 40 interactive activities including three outdoor
mazes, giant topiaries, and the Mitsubishi Wild Wetland
Trail. In the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden kids are the
gardeners, planting, weeding, watering, pushing wheelbarrows
of plants to the compost bins, feeding the earthworms,
harvesting crops, doing nature crafts, exploring pond
life, and much more.
Inside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, kids become explorers
with Adventures for Plant Hunters. This colorful cartoon
guide leads them throughout the biomes of the Conservatory
in search of plants that the dinosaurs ate, plants that
give us medicines, plants that we use to make chocolate
and coffee.
