July 11, 2023 - 9:00am - 3:00pm

Fee: Free.
Registration: Advance registration required. Click here to register online. Work days are weather dependent.

Join the Lynden land team—Kyle Welna, Alyx Christensen, Esther Portnoy, and Annalesa Albright--for a volunteer work day (or three) on the grounds. Each year, we drain Little Lake, a shallow, man-made pond, to prepare it for one of our most popular summer camps, Pond Voyage. Little Lake is home to waterfowl and a substantial algae population. If you have an interest in the algae for your papermaking or compost, or if you’d just like to lend us a hand, we will be raking out algae (wet and dry) daily from July 11-13. Pack your rubber boots and bushel baskets (if you want to take some home) and bring along a pitchfork if you have one.

Water and additional tools will be provided. Each participant will receive a Sara Caron Big Lake enamel pin.

Tuesdays in the Garden for Parents & Very Small Children

July 11, 2023 - 10:30am - 11:30am

2023 Summer Session (June 6-August 29): Tuesdays, 10:30 am-11:30 am
2023 Fall Session (September 5-December 19:) Select Tuesdays, 10:30 am-11:30 am

Tuesdays in the Garden, designed for children aged 1-3, provides a nurturing environment where children’s curiosity and wonder are extended through play and exploration, and children and their caregivers learn and discover side-by-side. Join art educators Claudia Orjuela and Denice Niebuhr for hands-on art making and all-senses-engaged exploration of the outdoor world at Lynden. We’ll consider different themes, each designed to connect Lynden’s environment with children’s interests. We will encourage experimentation and the manipulation of art and natural materials to tell stories, solve problems, and develop relationships.

Fee: $16/$12 members for one adult and one child.
