March Play Date #2 - St. Patty's Day Scavenger Hunt at Brookside Gardens

Each year Brookside Gardens hosts the St. Patrick's Day Green & Growing Scavenger Hunt for young children (ages 2-6). Have some St. Patrick’s Day fun following the giant green leprechaun footsteps through the garden. He’s left some clues to help you through - to find where he’s going is all up to you! Along the way if it’s a nice day, leprechaun helpers will trick you into some healthy activities, all good fun in the sun, of course! This year's walk will take place on Friday, March 16th at 10:30am. All MOPS Moms and their kids are invited to attend. The event includes a walk/scavenger hunt, a craft, and a snack. Come enjoy the fun! For more information about Brookside Gardens, click here.
