Tweens Visit Huntsville Botanical Garden



This month, the Tweens of Messiah Lutheran Church visited the Huntsville Botanical Gardens.

The 112 acres of the Huntsville Botanical Gardens includes a seasonal butterfly house, and aquatic, annual, daylily, fern, herb, perennial, rose, and wildflower gardens, as well as a nature path and collection of flowering dogwood trees. Tremendous Treehouses offers fun, interactive hand-crafted tree houses for kids of all ages.



And many aren’t just your regular, run-of-the-mill backyard tree houses. Some were designed and built by local architects, builders and even a local high school! The tweens had a great time visiting the gardens and climbing in the tree houses.



The Tweens are one of the youth groups at Messiah Lutheran Church.  They are made up of children in the 3d, 4th, and 5th grade.  They usually conduct an activity each month.  In October they visited a corn maze.  If you would like to learn more about the Tweens, please contact the Messiah Lutheran Church Office at (256) 721-0041.
