Patron Membership Benefit
Garden D-Tours for Kids

A NEW! benefit for Contributing Patron Members $150 and above.

Join the Descanso Gardens Docents every month on this educational and fun experience for parents and kids (ages 8 –12).  Explore what insects and wild animals make Descanso their home. Learn how to distinguish trees or how to study a flower – science education through inquiry based learning is fun, we promise!  Get off the beaten path and explore the trails of Descanso Gardens!  Each month is a new and adventure-filled discovery waiting for you!

Come on selected afternoons and take a hike with your kids!  Register in advance, by calling the membership office at (818) 952-4391. A Docent will lead the class (one parent must accompany child/children).

Programming will begin in June 2007, please check back and find out more!

Please keep in mind:
Child/Children must be accompanied by at least one parent or adult. You are welcome to bring other children that are not within the specified age group, but keep in mind that each program is geared for ages 8 –12. These events take place rain or shine, please come prepared for the weather.  Strollers are not encouraged as some activities may involve hiking up trails or taking detours onto non-paved roads.  These programs are offered free of charge and are guided by our Docents, a volunteer group, who lead school children on exploratory-type tours throughout the year.  If you need more information regarding the specific walk, please contact the membership office at (818) 952-4391.
