Books & Blooms

MONDAY, June 15

10:00AM - 11:30AM

Join us at Windmill Island Gardens for the return of our children’s summer series, Books and Blooms! Every Monday from June 15 through August 10, our friends from the Herrick District Library will kick off each Books and Blooms with a story time starting at 10:00 am followed by a fun hands-on activity lead by community partners starting at 10:30 am. Books and Blooms are free for all to attend! Just mention the event at the admission booth to join in on the fun. Books and Blooms will take place outside in the grass on the east side of the Posthouse. A parent/guardian must remain present at all times.

Ready for School – Bookmark Coloring: Each child will receive a book about flowers and will be able to decorate and color their own floral bookmark! This activity helps children notice the details like petals, stems and leaves, which build familiarity with what they might see in a garden.
