If you attend this event with at least 2 other bros you will get a fellowship point as well! Plant Pals Month - Do you ever wish you had a pet that didn’t bark, meow, or squeak in the middle of the night? Good news, MBGNA has something better! This September, we invite you to “befriend” a plant in our outdoor gardens and watch it change as fall arrives. It isn’t about owning a plant, but rather forming a friendly relationship with one. By taking the time to observe and care about what happens to it, we learn how to treat nature thoughtfully and take responsibility for protecting it. No leash required, just curiosity, a little time outdoors, and maybe a notebook or camera. Matthaei Botanical Gardens is hosting free guided nature walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays. These walks are FREE, no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group, we may separate into two sets to offer the same content at different levels of engagement. Wednesday walks begin at 5:30 pm. Sunday walks begin at 1:00 pm. We recommend gathering inside the lobby of Matthaei Botanical Gardens about 10 minutes before the start. https://mbgna.umich.edu/wonder-walks Email me at apontean@umich.edu or text me at 732-673-8513 with a photo/description of what you did to get credit!
