New England Wild Flower Society invites the whole family to Garden in the Woods. Celebrate this beautiful time of autumn color and ripening at Garden, featuring 1,500 kinds of native plants. Go on a scavenger hunt to seek out some fall treasures, see the ART GOES WILD show and circle the labyrinth, make a miniature garden in a dish to take home, meet some surprise creatures in the Garden, and learn about nature’s animal adaptations in one of our live animal programs. Stop by the Museum Store for beautiful toys and gifts. All purchases support plant conservation.

Live Animal Programs listed below in the Education Center are included with regular admission fee. Space is limited; tickets distributed on a first-come/first-served basis.

Animal Adventures 1:00 - 2:00pm.
How adventurous are you? Would you like to meet a wild cat called a Canadian lynx? Are you brave enough to meet reptiles such as a giant anaconda snake or a six-foot monitor lizard face-to-face? Join us as Ed Laquidara, animal specialist, introduces us to a variety of creatures and explains their roles in their ecosystems.

Curious Creatures 2:30–3:30 p.m.
This lively program introduces an incredible diversity of creatures, describing their particular adaptations and secrets of survival. Meet an albino Burmese python, a blue and gold macaw, an African pygmy hedgehog, rain forest tree frogs, and many other curious creatures. This program teaches respect and appreciation for all creatures that walk, crawl, and slither on the earth.
