Growing Up Green

+ Enlarge Picture

Presented by Rutgers Gardens

Growing Up Green Children's Area

Join the Rutgers Gardens in an interactive magical backyard designed to delight young children and their grown-ups.

This year they will present on:

Friday, 11am - 2pm; Saturday 11am-3pm and Sunday 11:30am-3pm

Flower Faces - using cut flowers, apply eyes, nose and mouth to make a flower face.

Terrarium Craft - Using two plastic cups, this craft illustrates the water cycle by showing how the evaporating water reforms on the upper surface. Also shows the germination and growth of seeds which have been planted adjacent to the container.

Earth's water resources: Fresh vs Salt. This demonstration, in which the children participate, shows how seemingly similar bodies of water visually, are actually drastically different. In part, the demonstration illustrates the difference between the two mediums through the buoyancy of materials.

Wind. Wind is obviously hard to see, but through the construction of a windmill, children can see how the action of wind can be converted into a physical response.
