Girl Scouts of South Carolina—Mountains to Midlands Troop 3395 Presents: Behind the Blooms — Sculptures & Scavenger Hunt

Saturday, March 28 | Noon–2:00 p.m. 

Join Girl Scouts of South Carolina—Mountains to Midlands Troop 3395 for a fun, interactive afternoon celebrating art, nature, and discovery! Explore steampunk-inspired butterflies, ants, and insects created by Girl Scout Troop 3395 and placed throughout the Stormwater garden.

To further enrich the garden experience, the troop has designed small, whimsical steampunk-style sculptures that will serve as hidden treasures for children to discover during an engaging pollinator-themed scavenger hunt. This unique blend of art and nature is meant to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and inspire creativity in young visitors.

Each participant will receive a printed flyer to guide them through their search. The flyer includes educational information about the importance of insects in pollinator gardens and their role in the ecosystem, as well as the connection between exploring art and nature and its positive impact on happiness and well-being.

Flyers will be available for children to use during their visit or take home, allowing the scavenger hunt to continue as an ongoing activity that inspires learning and discovery beyond the event.

Girl Scout Troop 3395 is passionate about this project because it provides an opportunity to give back to the community while encouraging environmental awareness, creativity, and exploration. This initiative complements Stormwater Studios’ mission by fostering an appreciation for both nature and art—especially among young minds.

Stormwater Studios is located at 413 Pendleton Street, Columbia, SC 29201
