6 Sessions, $90

Fall in BPC is a fascinating time for naturalists! While the season is most known for the changing colors of leaves, we can also observe the full life cycle of migratory monarch butterflies, the southward journey of hummingbirds and wood warblers, and our neighboring Hudson River’s fish returning to the Atlantic before winter. Participants will try their hand at bird watching, fishing, and raising butterflies.  No program 10/14.

Tuesdays, September 3 - October 29 
4–5pm, Rockefeller Park Children's Garden
9 sessions, $120

Discover the fun and rewards of planting flowers, vegetables and herbs, plus watering, weeding, and composting. Learn BPCA's green practices first-hand. 

Fun nature studies, art projects and sign-making for the garden will augment the program. Children will be assigned planting beds to tend with staff supervision. 

For children who enjoy nature and like to get dirty!
