The garden's mobile learning station brings natural materials and teaching objects into a Friday afternoon drop-in. Topics rotate, so treat it as a chance to investigate and ask questions rather than a workshop promising one particular take-home craft. No registration is needed, and bad weather moves the activity into the Play Garden classroom. The activity is included with paid garden admission or membership; the word Free in the organizer's title does not mean free admission for nonmembers.
