Planetary Picnic

Free to members or with admission to the sculpture garden.

The Lynden Sculpture Garden remains open until 7:30 pm on Wednesdays during the summer months. It's a beautiful time to see the garden, to enjoy a picnic on the grounds, and to take a stroll. We would like more people to enjoy these evenings at Lynden, so on July 27 we're hosting a Planetary Picnic, which includes some inducements -- an astronomy talk by Nik Prusinsky, planet gazing, a dusk walk with Naomi Cobb, plus some treats -- to lure you out on a Wednesday night.

Bring picnics (we'll provide dessert), telescopes, and your eyes and ears.

Here's the schedule:
6-7 pm: Picnic
Pack a picnic and pick a spot on the grass, or a place at one of our picnic tables. Stroll the grounds, relax by the Big Lake, get to know a sculpture.

7-8 pm: Dusk Walk with Naomi Cobb
Naturalist Naomi Cobb leads you to some of her favorite spots in the back acres of Lynden.

8-9 pm: Orientation to the Night Sky with Nik Prusinsky

9-10:30 pm: Planet Gazing
