Summertime
By Margo Ghia, Executive Director
It’s summertime. I know this not only because of the sweltering hot weather we have had in June or the fireflies that flit over my garden throughout the night, but I know this because everywhere I turn there are fun and engaging activities to get myself and my family members outdoors. One day I am attending a gardening class on how to divide perennials and the next my family and I are exploring a hiking trail with the assistance of a new interpretive guide. Instead of feeling harried, this constant activity outdoors has me feeling both internally peaceful and physically energized.
Looking over The Nature Museum’s calendar of events, you know it is summer. There are activities for all members of a family to get outside and delight in the richness of our region. This summer, we offer several opportunities for parents and children to enjoy time together learning something new (our family camps in July), or delighting in the magic of the outdoors (our butterfly tea party). If you are interested in exploring the outdoors and focusing in on gaining new knowledge, join us for a Mushroom Walk in Grafton. If you want to learn a new skill, join us for the garden photography workshop or our offering on how to make herbal salves, maybe you will even spark a new passion in yourself!
Whatever your interest, there is something for everyone this summer at the Museum. I hope to see you here!
