An inspiring garden exploration with biologist and educator Kája Jančík. Patient observation, detective-style activities, and creative follow-up projects for children ages 5–12 and their parents.

Are you also curious about what creatures we’ll encounter in our garden? We’ll turn over rocks, dig into the compost, and scoop invertebrates out of the pond. We’ll try our hand at being scientists and, with the help of a digital magnifying glass, set out to identify the organisms we find. We’ll show that we can observe nature at every turn, even in the middle of the city. We’ll then translate the inspiration we’ve gathered into artwork and use relief printing to turn our scientific observations into images.
