Nature's Palette Workshop

Looking for a fun and meaningful way to connect with nature and creativity this summer? The Environmental Learning Center invites you to join the Nature’s Palette Workshop on June 14 from 9 AM to 12 PM. Whether you are an individual exploring new artistic outlets or a family eager to create together, this hands-on experience offers something truly special.

What is the Nature’s Palette Workshop?​

The Nature’s Palette Workshop is a family-friendly art experience focused on ephemeral art – a creative form that uses natural materials like leaves, rocks, and flowers to create temporary masterpieces in the landscape. This type of art teaches mindfulness, observation, and appreciation for the fleeting beauty of the world around us.
