"Bloomin’ Bidwell Park" • Wednesday, March 24, , 10:00-11:00am In Spring, Bidwell Park comes alive with carpets of multicolored flowers. Are all those flowers just for us to enjoy? Why do plants go to the fuss of making them? We will talk about flowers, go for a short walk to see what’s blooming, make our own flowers, and meet our lop-eared rabbit. Preschool workshops are designed for children 3-5 years old. The cost is $10 per child. Space is limited to 15 children. Children must be accompanied by an adult during the program. Please call us at 891-4671 to register and for more information.
