Naturalists at the Ney Series
Learn more about the Ney's unique historic landscape and entrench yourself in the environment with Naturalists at the Ney, a new series of monthly events on the museum's grounds. In this thematic series of workshops, museum educators and community partnering organizations will lead guided explorations and art making activities on the first Saturday of April, May and June. We will learn about the colorful uses of plants, the hidden relationships under our feet, and the treasures used to create botanical art on the grounds around Elisabet Ney's Formosa studio. Be prepared to be outdoors in Ney’s wild landscape!
