During the months of June and July, Heathcote will host eight (8) Fridays as Summer Explore & More Days. Families with children ages 5-12 will REGISTER in advance at www.heathcotebotanicalgardens.org (click on the Explore & More icon) for their designated Friday(s) and in return, the garden admission will be free. Each Friday will have a specific theme accompanied by fun worksheets and or supplies for projects. Topics include Insects & Butterflies, Mind Your Surroundings, Garden Guru, Art, Pioneer Days, Orchid Bee, Oh My Bonsai, and a Scavenger Hunt. There will also be educators on standby for specific topics, questions, and answers. Attend one, two or even all Fridays for fun in this botanical wonder in the heart of Fort Pierce.

Join us at Blowing Rocks Preserve for a FREE Stewardship Sunday volunteer opportunity planting native plants at the preserve!

*Great way to earn volunteer hours for school, scholarships, or other community service requirements!*

Native plants are essential to conserving coastal ecosystems, and providing food and habitat for native animals. That's why at this event, we'll be outplanting native plants grown in our native plant nursery on-site.

Participants should plan to gather on the porch outside the Hawley Education Center between 9:45 and 10:00 AM for volunteer check-in before the activity begins.

No previous experience is required, all are welcome!

Prior registration for this event is appreciated but not required, and walk-ins are welcome if space allows. All necessary tools and supplies will be provided by The Nature Conservancy.

All youths under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Recommended for ages 8 and up.

Be sure to come prepared for the Florida heat and bugs by bringing a refillable water bottle, sun protection, and bug spray if necessary. This activity will involve walking on uneven, sandy terrain, so please wear appropriate closed-toe footwear.
