Join Cape Fear Botanical Garden Environmental Educators at West Regional Library for a hands-on, family-friendly program where you’ll design and plant your very own Chia Pet. Using simple materials, each participant will craft a quirky character or animal, then learn how to care for their green “hair” as it grows. No gardening experience needed—just bring your imagination!
Held in partnership with Cumberland County Libraries. Events are free. No registration is required.
Please Note: Because many of our events have limited capacity and require advance planning, we’re not able to offer refunds for participant cancellations, reschedules, or missed attendance. However, if the Garden needs to cancel or significantly alter an event due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances, we’ll gladly offer alternatives or provide options for a refund or exchange.
Navigate the Garden like a pro with click-and-learn descriptions of trails, sculptures, and signature spaces.
