Weekend + Sun - Cost = Great Family Event

With the streak of beautiful weather we’ve been experiencing in Seattle, are you finding it difficult to keep coming up with ways to spend time outside? Well, this weekend we’ve got a great suggestion. On Saturday, June 6, head to the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park and celebrate Washington’s native plants. Best of all, Celebrating Wildflowers is FREE! Come discover the world of mosses, flowers, and pollinators and create your own plant shrinky dink out of recycled materials.

And most importantly, our very own Tim Stetter, the Burke’s environmental education programs manager, will be there to engage you and your family in learning about the native plants of Washington. Examine museum specimens of plants – and animals, too! – that live in four different ecosystems in our state. Look for the Burke’s table in or near the PACCAR Pavilion.

Carpooling and alternative transportation are encouraged!
