BONUS WORK DAYS: POND

July 1, 2025 - 10:00am - 1:00pm

Fee: Free.
More information and to register: Advance registration is encouraged. Click here to register online. Work days are weather-dependent. If you have registered in advance, we will contact you if we are canceling due to inclement weather.

Join the Lynden land team—Robert Kaleta, Alyx Christensen and Esther Portnoy--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 1-3. Pack your rubber boots and bushel baskets (if you want to take some home) and bring along a pitchfork if you have one. Snacks and water will be provided.

Land Stewardship at Lynden

The Lynden Sculpture Garden is transforming its natural habitats and formal landscapes into sustainable and diverse ecosystems that highlight their natural beauty. Our goal is to steward healthy habitats for an array of native plants and wildlife while adding a vibrant mosaic of color and texture to this sculptural landscape through every season. With over 40 acres and more than half a dozen specialized garden spaces, the Lynden provides many volunteer and learning opportunities, from removing invasive species to planting new trees and plugs, weeding, pruning, collecting, and spreading seeds. With a small land staff, volunteer help is essential to the evolution and restoration of the Lynden grounds.

Tuesdays in the Garden for Parents & Very Small Children

July 1, 2025 - 10:30am - 11:30am

2025 Winter/Spring Session (January 28-May 27) No class February 4th & 11th: 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.
Registration: Group size is limited; advance registration is required. Register online now. In the event of inclement weather, sessions move indoors.
