SCBG programs in late March


Saturday, March 23
HANSON NATURE LEARNING CENTER OPEN HOUSE:  Garden Birds
In this open house, we focus on the intriguing world of birds.  Late winter is a wonderful time to observe our feathered friends before the trees leaf out.  Learn the calls of some of our native birds and visiting migrants, take a guided walk through the Garden, and create your own bird nest or bird mask to take home.
Fee:  Free
Time: 12 - 4 p.m.
Location: Hanson Nature Learning Center

Wednesday, Mar. 27
BIRD NESTS & NATURALLY DYED EGGS
Adults and children alike are sure to enjoy this unusual nature-based art project. We’ll show you how to make plant-derived egg dyes and will instruct you on the art of hand-blowing and decorating eggs with leaves and flowers from the garden. To complete the project, we’ll make beautiful ‘bird nests’ to house our egg art, which can be enjoyed for years to come!
Must register at least 5 days in advance.
Fee: $12 per participant ($10 members and volunteers)
Time: 3:30 - 5:30 p.m.
Location: Hanson Nature Learning Center
