The Children’s Garden is turning 20 and you’re invited to help celebrate at a jam-packed weekend of activities.
Follow human-sized Bees in an immersive and interactive performance by Polyglot Theatre, as they busy themselves creating a bee community among the spring blossoms.
You might also encounter the giant Praying Mantis or her friend the Ladybird, popping in to roam the garden, by ensemble Born in a Taxi.
Climb, jump, crouch, crawl and revel in a garden specifically designed for nature-based play. You can also collect Seek and Find circles and head off in search of shapes and colours and hidden animals.
Afterwards, explore the rest of Melbourne Gardens with the brand-new episode of their audio series Sonica Botanica, created by kids in collaboration with artist Patrick Cronin. You'll experience the Gardens as kids do, and be reminded that every garden is a children’s garden.
So make a beeline for The Ian Potter Foundation Children’s Garden and celebrate.
