An outdoor program for the nature lovers in our community.

Drop in on Saturday morning to learn about Duncan Library's pollinator garden. A member of the Friends of Duncan Library will give a little garden tour, and explain what is planted and why.

Little kids can decorate a plastic flower pot. Pick your own flower bouquet, and take home your very own plant to liven up your apartment or plant in your garden.

This event is weather-permitting, and will be rescheduled in the event of rain. Light refreshments--and shade!--will be provided.
