2025 Winter/Spring Session (February 18-May 27): 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. Sessions move indoors in the event of inclement weather.
