UW Family Gardening Day
to

(2022 critics' pick) A chilly April did at least include some showers (and snow) which should help May flowers grow when the weather warms. All ages can learn more about how to care for plants in the home and garden at the UW-Madison's annual Family Gardening Day. Hands-on activities are available, and master gardeners will answer gardening questions. You can even pick up some seeds to take home. Free events take place at Allen Centennial Garden, the D.C. Smith Greenhouse, Steenbock Memorial Library and Wisconsin Energy Institute.
media release: Free, annual event! April showers bring May flowers—and this opportunity to explore campus gardens, greenhouses, and related facilities. Visit the DC Smith Greenhouse, Allen Centennial Garden, Steenbock Library, and the Wisconsin Energy Institute. Explore hands-on activities with seeds, plants and soil. Ask questions of master gardeners. Discover books for all ages about gardening, plants, soil, water and more. Take home plants and seeds for your own garden (while supplies last). For those 12 and under, if you visit all stops found on our event passport, you can receive a free ice cream from Babcock Dairy Store!
