Garden Journaling and Nature Art

Nurture your child's love for nature and creativity in this expressive workshop. Inspired by the Library's native pollinator garden and map of plants, children learn the art of nature journaling by documenting their observations with drawings and reflections. We also introduce books provided by the library as resources to take home with their journals so they may continue to capture the beauty of the natural world in their neighborhood and imagination.
