Join Children’s Hospital here at Krohn Conservatory for a horticulture-based activity to inspire connection to growth and embrace our unique selves.

Seed heads are a fun and creative way for kids to learn about the life cycle of plants and how it can relate to their own growth journey. All living things have needs, and learning about our needs can set us up for a life full of joy, safety, and learning. Giving these seed heads what they need will steadily help them grow in multiple directions. Similarly, when kids have access to a healthy environment, where they feel safe and secure, they will grow. The act of nurturing a plant and seeing it grow can provide a sense of accomplishment and boost one’s sense of self-worth. Caring for these seed heads can encourage nurturing skills, provide opportunity to practice caring gestures and lastly, to plant positivity in our minds. It combines educational, physical, and psychological benefits within a fun and engaging format, making it a valuable way to engage with our natural world, while inspiring imagination and connection.

Join us for an indoor guided Forest Bathing Walk at Krohn Conservatory. Enjoy the serenity of nature and relax your mind as you slowly walk through the tropical foliage, breathing in the scents of the flowers surrounding you, and reawakening all five senses. Learn simple nature-based therapy tips you can integrate into your daily life to relax your mind and restore your body. The program includes a slow guided walk with a sequence of soothing, nature-based readings, moments of stillness, and poetry led by Pam Lowe Cho, ANFT-Certified Forest Therapy Guide and Executive Coach. Forest Bathing is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing relaxation practices being used by wellness practitioners around the world. Held against the backdrop of a vast variety of plants and flowers, this program is designed after a Japanese-inspired practice called “ShinrinYoku” (translated as forest bathing or bathing in the healing elements of nature).

Krohn Conservatory has partnered with Woodburn Games to help bring strategy board gaming to the public! Join us during our Fall Show, ‘A Healing Garden’, for a series of game nights. Just like our previous game nights, the game will be proctored so you can jump into playing and every winner will be entered in a drawing for a chance to take the game home!   Please arrive on time or come early and explore the conservatory prior to the event. We cannot guarantee the ability to play if late, and no refunds will be given in that circumstance. Enjoy 2 slices of pizza per ticket at the event from our partners at Taglio Bar and Pizzeria.

Designed for kids of all ages. Join us Wednesday September 24, 2025 from 10am-12pm to participate in a kid friendly craft. Free with you general admission ticket.

We all have a dark side, most of us keep it under wraps. Plants on the other hand often display theirs with fervor. This program dwells on the unseemly side of herbs and their kin from Ergot and St. Anthony’s Fire to Belladonna and doe-eyed beauties. From the devil’s bartender to the plant that killed Abraham Lincoln’s mother. Get Ready! This is not your grandmother’s-Chamomile-Tea-and-sweet-Anise-cookies view of herbs!
