A New Year of Creativity is Growing
in the OCAC Children's Garden!
Our newest programming for The Children’s Garden is yearlong series of hands-on, family-friendly experiences designed to connect art, culture, and nature.
Developed in partnership with the Culture Crops program designed by the Richard and Carole Cox Art Museum at Miami University and the Myaamia Center, the program draws inspiration from seasonal cycles and garden-based learning. Each month features a different activity, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and connection through art-making, storytelling, and interactive exploration.
Programs evolve throughout the year, offering fresh ways for children and families to engage with shared themes of community and the natural world.
Friday, July 10: Pollinator Parade Workshop
FREE Activity, Registration Required
Kids create wearable wings, bandanas, or simple capes and learn about bees, butterflies, bats, and other animals that help pollinate Indigenous and heritage crops. With artist Devan Horton, participants experiment with natural pigments from plants to dye small pieces of fabric, connecting color to the flowers and foods pollinators rely on, then end with a short “parade” around the garden.
Ages: 6 - 13
Dates: Second Fridays from 6-8 PM
Location: Oxford Community Arts Center
