It had been a long time since I visited Leach Botanical Gardens.
What took me there was the Honeybee Hike for 2-5 year olds.
I wasn't disappointed and neither were the little ones.
There was a short hike up the hill to a meadow just for kids.
There were stories to hear, worms to hold, a carrot to pull from the garden,
and a visit with a dinosaur.
The hike takes place most Wednesdays from 10-11AM.
The cost is $3 per child with accompanying adult being free.
It won't be so long the next time I visit for my little one asked to return.
Next time we will hike further and look for the stone cottage tucked in amongst the trees.

How fun to enjoy a Honeybee Hike with little ones! Their program sounds so interesting for children aged 2-5.
Hi Marilyn.. love your blog and how you promote local places and products! I have friends that volunteer at Leach Gardens and also they work with me volunteering at Multnomah Falls! I'm going to add your blog link to my list! Nice to meet you! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
This looks like a delightful spot, Marilyn. You have so many good spots in your community. I hope to see some in person sometime!
