Take a Closer Look Activities
June 7 – August 29
Take a closer look all summer long in the Lena Meijer
Children’s Garden. Whether this is your first visit or
your fiftieth, explore with us by investigating different aspects of the Children’s Garden. Activities vary daily; inquire at the Information Center for more details.
• Use pond viewers to get a closer look at plant and animals that live under water in the wetlands.
• Take a closer look at sculpture and join local artists to create imaginative art of your own using clay, paper or pastels.
• Go on a plant hunt looking closely for interesting plants such as “Miss Muffet,” “Wig’s Sensation,” “Tiger Babies,” or “Corkscrew Rush.”
• Take a closer look at the uniqueness of Michigan sand under a microscope.
• Use a real spotting scope to get a closer look at birds and bird behavior.
