Upcoming Events
Kubota Garden Young Naturalist
for youth ages 7-11
Saturday, October 10, 2026,
10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Youth participants explore Kubota Garden as a living ecosystem—discovering its history, purpose, plants, and animals through hands-on observation, data collecting and drawing. In doing so, they become young ambassadors and community scientists for the Garden and natural spaces beyond. Each program is unique based on what the season and weather brings.
An adult will need to accompany participants at check-in to sign consent forms.
This event is free thanks to funding from 4Culture and KGF donors. Registration is required.
