We'll be having lots of fun every Friday this summer - drop in between 1 and 2 p.m. each week for sustainability, conservation, and nature-themed activities for school-age children during a program called Earth-Friendly Fridays!
Our first week will be spent mixing up homemade suet and making "upcycled" bird feeders out of kitschy coffee mugs. Later in the summer, we'll make wildflower seed bombs, rock and bone necklaces, tee shirt tote bags, local food snacks, and much more.
Some special guests will join us from time to time, too! You won't want to miss Professor K.W. Therm and his Energy Extravaganza, for instance - plus Johnson County Master Gardener Jackie Wellborn will tell us how to save the honeybees.
Check out the full Earth Friendly Fridays calendar here.
The best book I’ve read so far this quarantine. Maybe even the best kids book I’ve read this year! It’s just about some basic events in an average suburban kid’s life, but BAM! It hits you over and over again with BEAUTIFUL WRITING that sums up THE REASONS LIFE IS WORTH LIVING, in a subtle and casual way (not heavy-handed or overbearing). -Anne W
