The Department of Parks, the Bermuda Youth Library, and author Dr David Chapman invite families to the grand opening of the new Botanical Gardens StoryWalk on Saturday, 23 November.

The celebration will begin with a ceremony at 10:15 am, followed by a Story Time at 10:30 am on the Celebration Lawn.

The Botanical Gardens StoryWalk offers a free, enjoyable, and accessible opportunity for families to foster a love of reading while promoting physical activity. The featured book, Daddy and I Explore… The Farm! by Dr David Chapman, will guide visitors along a scenic route through the gardens.

This initiative builds upon the successful launch in May, where the StoryWalk featured Abigail’s Dream Adventures by Bermudian author Karen E. Franks.

Originally created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, the StoryWalk concept combines the joy of reading with the beauty of the outdoors, creating an educational activity for families.

The Department of Parks and the Bermuda Youth Library are thrilled to continue offering this innovative experience that promotes early literacy and encourages families to enjoy the natural beauty of the Botanical Gardens.

The StoryWalk at the Botanical Gardens is made possible by the generous sponsorship of Deloitte.
