Family Gardening Workshop – Bulbs
to
Hampton-Preston Mansion and Gardens 1615 Blanding Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201
Gardeners of all ages are invited to experience Historic Columbia’s family-friendly gardening workshop!
Digging alongside Historic Columbia horticulturists, families will learn about historic gardening techniques and plant several types of summer flowering bulbs – such as Irises, Spider Lilies, Milk and Wine Lilies, and Day Lilies – throughout the newest two-acre addition to the gardens at the Hampton-Preston Mansion.
Following the gardening activity, families will learn about the wonders of plants and how they grow! Enjoy a spring-themed story time in the gardens before participating in a sedimentary sensory take-home activity. Afterwards, compete in a friendly bulb toss and bulb spoon race! The Robert Mills Grounds and Gardens will also be open to explore with a scavenger hunt.
