Self-guided make-and-take sessions where children and adults create harvest wreaths from autumnal materials at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
Denver Botanic Gardens is hosting a Children and Family Make and Take: Harvest Wreaths workshop on Saturday, November 14, 2026. It's one of those sessions where kids and adults work side by side with natural materials, so if you've got little ones at home, it's a good excuse to get them out of the house and doing something with their hands.
The project is a harvest wreath, and you'll build it from autumnal colors, seed pods, and artificial foliage. The format is self-guided and self-paced, which is the part that makes it work for families: it's a creative environment meant to spark imagination rather than a formal class. You aren't following a strict set of instructions or racing against a clock, so you can take your time and let the kids lead the way.
Once the wreath is finished, there's a second half to the visit. You're invited to explore the Gardens on your own with a self-guided scavenger hunt that takes in the nature around you during the fall season. It's a nice way to stretch your legs and see the grounds after you've spent the morning crafting.
