Join us outside to learn how to plant your own rain garden at home on Saturday, September 16 from 8:00am - 11:00am. Rain gardens help capture rainwater, conserve city water used for irrigation, cool down sidewalks, reduce flooding, and provide habitat for bees, birds, and butterflies. After you attend a hands-on workshop, you can take home a complimentary rain garden kit which includes a native shade tree, native grass, shrub, wildflower seeds, and Tank's wood chip mulch. Plus enjoy bilingual story time, meet the hens, learn to code, and make a worry stone or necklace.
Schedule:
8:00am - Nature activities
9:00am - Rain Garden Workshop
10:00am - Song and Story Time
11:00am - Program Ends
Family Saturdays happen every third Saturday of the month. WMG Kids stay up to date on childrens programming through the Tucson Action Bulletin.
