Get in the holiday spirit with this drop-in craft for the whole family! Let your creativity flow while creating natural material ornaments - great gifts for the fellow gardener or nature-lover on your holiday list! Participants will create ornaments to take home. Start with a base of dried citrus, wood slice, or pine cone and build your ornament using dried flowers, seedpods and more! All materials are pre-harvested from Olbrich Gardens to create a one-of-a-kind, unique piece of art! All materials provided. Participants must be comfortable working with hot glue and delicate material. Drop in any time between 10am and 12pm. All materials provided while supplies last.

“Move like a great river; be still like a mountain” instructs the age-old description of the meditative exercise and movement art of T’ai Chi Ch’uan. This class offers standing movements and seated practices rooted within the Chinese tradition of Tai Chi and Chi Kung for the enrichment of body, mind and spirit. All physical abilities welcome, including those in need of chair-based practice.
Spring has sprung! Come enjoy a casual walk through Olbrich gardens to view and learn about all the beautiful spring bulbs putting on a show! Stroll through various meadows and garden areas to learn about the different bulbs that are Olbrich favorites from Olbrich Horticulturist Avery. The exact date of this walk will be determined by the weather and the bulbs. Please check our website in mid-April for schedule updates.
