This three-class series is dedicated to getting us out into the natural area of Red Butte Garden. We will wander with intention and use our senses to explore our surroundings and find wildflowers. The class is held outside, rain or shine, and we will be hiking the trails of the natural area. Be prepared with proper footwear, weather, and safety related personal gear.
Other recommended materials include a clipboard, hand-lens/magnifier, and small bag to carry your materials. We'll meet in the Red Butte Garden courtyard after checking in at the Visitor Center front desk. The class is intended to complement several of the Garden's wellness classes, research, and news.
Three-class series:
Wednesdays, April 16, May 14, June 18 from 5:30-7:30PM
