Garden Yoga
6:30-7:45pm


Every Monday starting September 8
6:30 to 7:45 p.m.
Garden Yoga

This spin-off of our Wednesday yoga classes incorporates themes of ecology and the natural world into the poses and breath work of a hatha-based yoga class in a beautiful outdoor setting. Get a workout and a botany lesson at the same time. Did you know that Buddha became enlightened sitting under a ficus tree? Meditate under our Ficus benjamina and discover your own purpose for being. This class is accessible to all skill levels, and is taught by Terra-Nova (RYT). All donations given at this class support the Garden. Suggested donation $5 for Garden members, $10 non-members.

THE MOBILE LIBRARY

It's like a food truck where you get sketchbooks, instead of tacos.
The Mobile Library travels North America year around visiting 40+ cities. Inside it holds 4,500 sketchbooks from that years collection. Find out where we are heading next.
