On November 28 from 11-4 p.m. CST, Friendship Botanic Gardens will host a free celebration of Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Month. Children will have the chance to embark on a turkey scavenger hunt throughout the gardens and nature trails - find every hidden paper turkey and win a special Thanksgiving prize! Then, visit the Native American Heritage Garden and enjoy getting a first-hand look at Indigenous Peoples’ cooking techniques as the garden educator demonstrates the cooking of traditional pumpkin stew over an open flame.

Children are also invited to check out the ArcelorMittal Children’s Garden, an arena for interactive play experience which includes a playset and a sensory garden.
