Programs
Art and nature come together in playful, process-based programs that spark curiosity, creativity, and care for the world around us. Each session invites kids to explore natural and repurposed materials through eco-conscious artmaking — all while engaging their senses, their imaginations, and their hands.
All classes are located at:
Yawkey House Garden (403 Mcindoe St, Wausau, WI 54403)
