Sprouts – Nature Breathing & Whale Watching

NATURE BREATHING AND WHALE WATCHING is this month's Sprouts activity! Grab a handout from the Sprouts kiosk at the Gardens entrance (under Rhody's Cafe) and check out some binoculars from the admission counter. Take the whole family on a relaxing journey through the Gardens as you learn to "breath like a tree" from your leaves to your roots or practice "Bunny Breathing". Grab a handout from the green kiosk at the main entrance and head out into the Gardens.
