Weekly summer events for children
Workshops at the Aviary
Every Tuesday morning from 10:30am to 12pm.
With an animator, the workshop is divided into two themes in alternation: the White Lady and Leaves Collection.
An adult must accompany (free admission) the children he/she registers for the activity.
Price: 8€/child, material included.
The White Lady (barn owl) is waiting for her “enplumed guests“. With the hostess, during the visit of the park where our owl nests, you will discover its hiding place and you will prepare the reception of its guests.
But who are they? You will see them in the aviary!
What will you prepare? With the help of Land–art: their nest and everything in nature that can feed them.
Collecting leaves: I suggest you go through the arboretum and collect the leaves you find beautiful, associate them with their botanical family and stick them on a support. You will leave with your herbarium!
