Garden Tots Program Begins

Bring your preschool-aged children or grandchildren to our new Garden Tots program starting Friday, July 11th and continuing through the summer. Drop in for a fun exploration of plants in this unique, naturalistic garden. Each week we’ll offer a simple plant activity, a themed garden exploration, and a craft project. Fee: $5/family, free for KBGF members. Intended for ages 2-5 years. Contact the garden for more information.

June KBGF Member’s Meeting

Join us on June 18th for our annual June KBGF Member’s Meeting. The meeting will take place at the Shoreline Historical Museum from 7:00-8:30 pm. We’ll honor all of our great volunteers at a special recognition event and City of Shoreline staff will present an update on the master plan process that is now underway for the garden. All garden members and friends are invited to attend and learn more about the progress of the master plan. We hope you can make it!

Free Guided ToursNow Offered
1st and 3rd Saturdays, 1 pm

Free guided tours of the garden are now offered twice each month through September. These tours provide an overview of the garden’s history and points of interest in about an hour. They are a great introduction to the garden for new visitors, or for returning visitors who want to learn more. Longer tours focusing on the plant collection are also available.
