• A magician and face painter

“We are truly heralding spring’s arrival with this delightful event that offers fun activities for the entire family,” said Supervisor Bosworth. “It comes at a time when Clark Botanic Garden is bursting at the seams with new growth, colorful blooms and birdsong. Don’t miss it!”

All attendees can enjoy the 12 beautifully manicured acres of Clark Botanic Garden which includes labeled gardens, trees, ponds and streams and provides an oasis of peace and aesthetic enjoyment for all. Clark Botanic Garden is located at 193 I.U. Willets Road in Albertson.
