The same program will be offered at 10 am and 1 pm. Feel free to bring a picnic to eat in the shelter before or after your program.

Topic will be determined soon!

Prairie Walk at Drake Community Library

This library prairie "walk" series is more prairie, less walking, as the Drake Community Library prairie is locatied just off the library's south patio. We'll look at what's in bloom, and talk about using native plants in an urban landscape. This is a great way to get to know some of the plant species that have been growing in Iowa for thousands of years. 

Join us in June, July, and August to watch the prairie transform through the summer!

Crafternoons - Watercolor cards and upcycled envelopes

Join us for an adult program! We'll have a different activity each month throughout the summer. 

In August we'll try out some easy watercolor technicques to create nature themed notecards. We'll also have supplies on hand to make envelopes out of upcycled magazine pages so that you can leave with a card ready to drop in the mail!

This program will be capped at 15 participants. RSVPS are required. Call Amy at 319-213-5607 to RSVP.
