Scarecrow Trail: Personify A Color

Scarecrows created by our community inhabit the Turner Seasons Garden. Is that a scarecrow or a “pigment” of your imagination? If that first pun wasn’t a tell “teal” sign, this year’s theme is all about the colors of the rainbow. Whether it’s floral or industrial, historical or fantastical, serious or “hue”-morous, we all have associations and connections with color. This year join us to witness the imaginative and wildly fun personification of a COLOR!

TOTS!

Tuesday Through Saturday | 10 AM – 12 PM

Beginning Tuesday, September 3, TOTS! returns to five days a week through October 26 before taking a break for the winter months. Join us in the Bracken Foundation Children’s Garden for hands-on activities, storytimes, and the crowd favorite Turtle Talks. Engaging weekly projects draw from the beauty of the fall season. A visit to TOTS! isn’t complete without a stop at the PNC Living Library, where you’ll find baskets filled with fun interactive items that spark learning about themes including Things with Wings, Elements of Art, Our Sky and Weather, and more.

TOTS! is for children accompanied by an adult. This program is geared towards toddlers, but all are welcome to join.
