FREE WORKSHOP:
Celebrate National Pollinator Week with the Southbury Garden Club!
June 22 & 29: Join us for a CT Pollinator Pathway Garden Journaling Workshop, a unique and creative experience that blends art, observation, and outdoor exploration to deepen your understanding of native plants and pollinators.
What to Expect:
Classroom Session – Each participant will receive a brand-new sketchbook and engage in a series of guided, hands-on art projects. Learn how to draw, color, and label flowers, butterflies, bees, birds, and other vital pollinators. We'll also discuss respectful ways to identify and observe nature while honing your sketching skills.
Outdoor Field Session – Take your learning into nature at Settlers Park Community Garden! With sketchbooks in hand, participants will explore, observe, and illustrate real-life pollinators in action. Experienced Southbury Garden Club members will be on-site to offer guidance, answer questions, and share their knowledge about local pollinator-friendly plants.
This interactive workshop is perfect for nature lovers, aspiring artists, and anyone interested in supporting our local ecosystem. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with nature, enhance your artistic skills, and celebrate the importance of pollinators! Ages 8 and up. All materials provided. Advance registration required.
The following summer 2025 program offerings require parent/guardian supervision!
Family Game Night: We will provide the space - you provide the energy! Southbury Parks and Recreation will provide game supplies, tables, and chairs. All Families/Groups will be responsible for running their own games - we will clean up the mess! If you are hoping to play a game with more participants, please invite your friends to sign up and join us! Program will run with any registration volume: you may be the only family at a particular night, staff will check you in but will not run programming, be prepared to run your own games. You are welcome to bring your own games as well! Think of this program as a play date where no one has to clean their house before the fun (or clean up after it!).
