The mystical and magical take over the greenhouses for this family and community event.  This annual event is perfect for old and young alike.  Over 6500 people attend each year to be inspired with these whimsical creations from nature.  Community members bring their handcrafted houses to our Botanical Center to help us create miniature villages where fairies, gnomes and DRAGONS reside.  The houses are hidden among the tropical plants and foliage.  It is a true delight when children find their own creations nestled in a tiny village with other fairy homes.

Featured artists this year include noted Rhode Island painter, Mike Bryce showcasing his Painted Garden and Cat Riker, a fairy home designer and artist.  Additional events include craft workshops, special performances with the Providence Ballet Theater, children’s crafts and activities, and beautiful creations from local artists.

It’s not every board meeting that you get to meet a tamandua! 😍

This curious critter made an appearance at the RWPC Board Meeting this morning at the @rwpzoo Education Center. Huge thank you to Amy Roberts, Andrea Stein, Anthony Polite, and Kim Warren from the Zoo team for letting us meet Oblio and sharing so many interesting facts about the tamandua (a type of anteater!). Oblio brought many professional insights to the meeting, too 🐜

Visit the Zoo to learn more about tamanduas and other amazing animals!

Winter walks 🍂> January blues 🥶 Take a walk with us at Roger Williams Park! We visited the trail along Elm Lake near the softball field – a short, easy trail with stunning frosty lake views (especially during golden hour) and woodsy path. Shout-out to @pvdparks for maintaining the many beautiful trails at the Park! 

Before hitting the trail, please note that the only way to access this path is via the Park Avenue entrance while Maple Avenue and Pine Hill Avenue are currently closed. Find parking along Frederick C. Green Memorial Blvd. right when you turn into the park!
Join @rwpmuseum for a Winter Bird Walk Saturday morning at 10 AM! See wintering waterfowl and many more feathered friends during this guided walk. Tickets are $3 (register online). 🦆

Can’t make it tomorrow? Winter Bird Walks also take place February 14 and March 14!
