Sat only 11am & 2pm Nature Walk: Birds and the Winter Garden
Local birds face many challenges during the chilly months, and benefit from thoughtfully planned, bird-friendly plantings. Naturalist Gabriel Willow and Senior Horticultural Interpreter Charles Day lead a brisk walk to see birds and bird habitats in the garden. Along the way, hear about fascinating adaptations that help birds survive the cold. This nature walk takes place again at 2PM. Free, and admission to the grounds is free until noon.

 Sat only Noon–2pm  Drop-in Workshop: Decorating for the Birds

Discover what birds prefer to eat and make several edible decorations for your avian neighbors. Ages six and older welcome with an adult. $15 materials fee, plus admission to the grounds.
