You will travel back more than 550 million years and stand next to the oldest known, complex body fossils on the planet. During the hike to the site you will have the ocean on one side and beautiful barrons on the other.

Join us for this presentation as we look to the night skies and learn about the celestial bodies visible at different times of the season. This event is available on the first and last Sunday of each month, from 1:00-2:00pm and 3:00-4:00pm. All sessions will include a 30 minute planetarium film and 20 minutes of live show led by Garry Dymond, a member of the Royal Astronomical Scociety of Canadian.

Garry will present the night sky, focusing on what we can see during the month right here on the Northeast Avalon. This guided virtual tour of the night sky will teach you to spot and identify a number of constellations, stars, planets and more.

The session will take place indoors, in our portable StarLab. Please note you will be sittingon cusions on the floor.

Show is for ages 5 and up.

Admission is $5.00+HST. Please note this fee does not include access to the exhibits.

Join us for an evening of poetic resonance in the Botanical Garden. Emerging artist, Mercy Alberta, has created a site-responsive soundscape over which local poets will read to create an immersive sonic experience. This session will include interactive elements to bring our noticing into the present.

As the lazy hazy days of summer roll along, many people turn to the trails, woods and parks, marveling at the beauty we enjoy in Newfoundland and Labrador.  The canopies overhead with birdlife, the way a tree branches out and casts shadows, a glistening spiderweb over there, a cricket calling for August or September, perhaps.  These are jewels for poetry writing and that’s exactly what we’ll explore in two Thursday Twilight writing sessions:  Thurs. Aug. 13th and Thurs. Aug. 20th from 6-8pm.   

We’ll begin with a photograph from nature and do a free-write based on that to get our pens moving across the paper.  Then, we’ll read some nature poetry to inspire us before we wander outdoors to do some more writing and catch some words in the woods.  Around 7pm, we’ll return inside to polish our words and lines a bit with a cup of herbal tea from Newfoundland Tea Company---or, if the evening is spectacular, we’ll gather in the gazebo by the lake.  We’ll end the evening with an author’s circle where we will read our creations aloud, or invite someone to read another person’s writing. 

This reflective evening of writing is appropriate for adults and accompanied children, 12 years of age and older.  Each Thursday will be different, so plan to attend one or both!

Cost is $15 (+tx) and the evening will be facilitated by Jan Buley from the Faculty of Education at MUN.

Join Garden Horticulturalist Todd Boland to learn about the always beautiful, sometimes mysterious Orchid and the basics of growing and caring for this wonderous plant. Feel free to bring along your own potted Orchid for Todd's expert advice and help repotting.
