Saturdays in September and October
10am-2pm
Slow Down with us at the Columbus Botanical Garden Saturdays in September and October. Spending time outside has countless benefits including stress relief, improving mental clarity, stimulating creativity and innovative thinking and can foster family bonding!
Each week will offer different activities for ways to be mindful in nature, using our different senses and learning about how plants and animals also use these senses. This opportunity is great for all ages, from child to adult, anyone can discover something new when you take the time to slow down in nature! Come join us for a Slow Down Saturday at CBG!
