Hands on native plant based activities in the park for all ages: Handmade recycled paper workshop with native flower seeds, take home the paper you make or add to a long community scroll. Play with seeds, pine cones, and other materials. Learn to make string and rope all while learning about the importance of native pollinators to the complex biodiversity right here in the city.
