Each week will offer different activities for ways to be mindful in nature, using our different senses and learning about how plants and animals also use these senses. This opportunity is great for all ages, from child to adult, anyone can discover something new when you take the time to slow down in nature! Come join us for a Slow Down Saturday at CBG!
