Mr. Paca’s Garden Storytime is a fun hour full of reading and activities in the William Paca Garden, a secret treasure in the Historic District of Annapolis. Each program is designed for little ones, 3-7 years, with a book reading, song, and craft/art project, plus time to explore the Paca Garden following the story hour.

It’s Not Easy Being a Leprechaun by Marilyn Sadler

Life isn’t always easy–even for a leprechaun! Connor O’Connor, an unhappy leprechaun who thinks he can’t make friends because he looks a little different, finds happiness by being himself and doing good. The perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with little lads and lassies!

Join us in celebrating St Patrick’s Day with a song, a craft, and a garden scavenger hunt!

Advance registration required, space is limited.

Cost: $10 per Child and $5 per Adult for General Admission; $8 per Child and Free for Adults for HA Members and Military
