Bloom: Dementia Friendly Program (Coming Soon!)

Sensory Garden Senior and Adult Program

Come join us in our new quiet sensory garden area for our dementia-friendly program “Bloom”. In this program for small groups of older adults, we’ll emphasize the use of our senses to interact with the garden in and complete a variety of immersive activities. Learn about the origins of preserving flowers and plants through pressing and try your own hand at this historical pastime. We’ll conclude our program in our spacious gazebo using what we’ve learned to create unique, botanical cards that are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face!

Museum Interactives

Interactive Farm Stand

When you visit our new permanent exhibit Rooted in Rural, make sure to check out our life sized interactive produce stand! The produce stand is made to look like the bed of an old pickup truck box. It allows for play based learning opportunities that focuses on the area’s rich history of agriculture. Learn about different produce that is grown locally, set your own produce prices and make believe you are a farm owner!
