Children's Garden Programs

The Myriad Botanical Gardens has a separate children's garden which is divided into two distinct areas - a playground area and a garden area. In the garden area, we offer year-round free or low-cost programs primarily aimed at pre-k through 10 years old. These programs range from a summer book reading program where books are made available in the garden for children to read, coupled with a free storytelling schedule throughout the summer and fall months. We also offer a variety of hands-on activities in the children's garden - from arts and crafts that may include painting a pumpkin, making fresh fruit ice-cream, science-in-the-garden program, and exploring the Gardens with the new "Adventure Back-packs. These programs are offered almost daily in the summer months and on weekends at other times of the year.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
