SATURDAY, AUGUST 10th

Mundy Park

Flowering the Fraser

Summer’s here and the flowers are in full bloom! This month we’re headed to Mundy Park in Coquitlam to learn about flowers! We’ll look at the different parts of a flower, learn about pollination, and go on a flower walk. Then we’ll plant flower seeds that you can take home!  

Registration cost includes admission to the Fraser River Discovery Centre. Pay when you register for this workshop, and the next time you visit the Centre in-person, you will be admitted for free.  

This event will take place rain or shine, so please come prepared for the weather.
