StoryWalk ® Trail Program:The Weedy Garden by Margaret Renkl

Join Frank B. Koller Library Director Callie as we reveal the latest story along StoryWalk Trail, The Weedy Garden: A Happy Habitat for Wild Friends by Margaret Renkl. If you were hungry squirrel in the weedy garden, where would you find an acorn? If you were a cottontail rabbit, where would you hide your bunnies? And if you were a child, sitting still and listening, what would the weedy garden say to you? Margaret Renkl, a beloved regular contributor to The New York Times and two-time recipient of the Southern Book Prize, writes beautifully about our changing natural world. This is a program that connects literacy and outdoor recreation by placing a children’s nature-themed story out along the trail. We will walk and read the new book together, followed by a fun craft! This program is intended for children ages 4-7. Parents are asked to stay with their children and participate.

Please register the child/children names only. Registration is required by 7/28/26. These programs are free of charge and are sponsored by the Shepherd/Howells Fund and the Frank B. Koller Memorial Library. Participants will meet at the Grand Pavilion at the Discovery Center. Wednesday 10 AM - 11 AM.
