Garfield Park’s Conservatory offers activities and events to keep families engaged this summer, from gardening to nature programs.
Junior master gardeners
Plant your own garden, learn about growing food, explore the garden for critters, and more. The Junior master gardener program returns this summer to the Children’s Garden at Garfield Park. This nine-week program allows children to plant, tend to and harvest their own garden area while learning about a different gardening topic each week.

Upon completion of coursework and volunteer hours, each child will earn his or her Junior Indiana Master Naturalist certification.
