Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
Enjoy large-scale model trains chugging through a festive scene overflowing with hundreds of poinsettias and fresh evergreens. Each year, Olbrich's horticulturists design and carefully construct a unique environment for visitors to explore. All aboard the Holiday Express!
Little Sprouts programs are nature and literature-based early childhood programs designed to meet the multidimensional learning and developmental needs of children ages 2-5 years. Each class is designed for children to work side-by-side with their adult caregiver as they engage in hands-on, fun, age-appropriate experiences that support the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards.
Craft a small wreath that evokes the scents of the season, inspired by tropical plants growing in Olbrich’s Bolz Conservatory! Learn how to wire fresh greens to a wreath form, then decorate with whole spices and dried citrus slices. This project is perfect to set as a centerpiece with candles or to hang inside to dry in place. Gloves and jewelry pliers will be useful to bring to aid in twisting wire and all other supplies are provided.
