In preparation for Halloween, we will be designing tiny gardens fit for all types of goblins and ghouls, using creativity and some of the spookiest plants around. The Garden will provide all materials. Participants are welcome to bring additional tiny Halloween decor of their own to add to their spooky garden.

One $30 event ticket gets you and/or your family materials to make one spooky garden. Additional family members just need a general admission ticket — $15/adult, $10/child/student on Saturday — to tag along to help. Members can make a spooky garden for just $20.

Houston Botanic Garden offers free parking for daytime events, which are held rain or shine. If you have specific questions, please email education@hbg.org.
