For children ages 2–4 and their caregivers, Wednesdays in the Garden offers a nurturing and joyful space to explore, play, and grow through sensory-rich activities, outdoor adventures, and open-ended artmaking. Early childhood educators Claudia Orjuela and Denice Niebuhr will guide families through these experiences.

Whether you are looking for a few hours of volunteer work or want a weekly activity that keeps you outside, you are welcome to join us on Wednesday mornings from 10 am to 12 noon. You will work alongside land staff to pull herbaceous invasive species in our natural areas, as well as help accomplish other projects around the grounds to enhance biodiversity and take care of the native flora and fauna.

Lynden’s Art + Nature Lab for ages 8-12 is a dynamic studio experience where creativity flourishes through choice, exploration, and personal expression. This student-driven program encourages participants to work as artists—selecting their own subjects, materials, and approaches while developing confidence in their creative process.
