Plants & Pollinator Kids Experience
Explore the Lyndhurst landscape through the eyes of pollinators on this kid-friendly tour led by our Curator of Historic Landscapes. The expedition begins at the Welcome Center and concludes at the Overlook, where a vibrant native garden awaits. Be among the first to stand upon the newly restored viewing platform, site of Helen Gould’s former treehouse, and take in the river views. Learn what bees see, why birds need native grasses, and what beneficial insects are suitable for your garden. A hands-on gardening activity will follow the discovery portion of the program in the landscape. Families and young visitors will learn how to plant bulbs using old-fashioned wooden planting tools and help restore Lyndhurst’s daffodil hill. Dress comfortably and be prepared to get your hands dirty!
