February 16-18, morning and afternoon sessions available daily
Roger Williams Park Botanical Center

The annual Hike and Build event is back!

During winter break, bring your family for a fun day of wintry exploration and creativity! On an easy outdoor walk, staff members will help you find the best natural materials for your fairy house. Then, we’ll go back inside to the workshop and build scenes for a celestial Fairy World.

Bring your fairy house creation back in March to get free tickets to Fairy Garden Days. Your house will be displayed in the community exhibit at Fairy Garden Days 2026.

One (1) Hike and Build ticket is valid for groups of one to four people. Tickets include all fairy house materials and admission to the Botanical Center.

Purchase tickets at the RWP Botanical Center website!

Venue

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!
Our next episode of Swan Stories features Roz Raskin of the dreamy Providence-based band @novaone_! Roz shares some of their favorite memories spent at Roger Williams Park (including actual swan encounters!), the full-circle experience of writing and touring NOVA ONE’s latest album, “how to kiss”, building community around music, and more! 

Subscribe to RWPC’s email newsletter to get the full interview in your inbox tomorrow (and more park highlights!), or to our YouTube channel – follow the links in our bio!

Thank you to @rwpboathousecafe for setting us up with a boat to film on the lake! 🦢
