TOUR: NATURE IN MOTION



Date/time: Nov. 9; 12-12:45pm ET



What it’s all about? Taking time to enjoy nature has been shown to reduce
stress, increase productivity, and improve overall wellness. Join us on a
guided nature walk of the USBG outdoor gardens that explores our
relationship with plants and the natural world. Throughout this tour we
will intermittently stop to connect with our bodies through guided
stretching and calming exercises. Please note: This tour is held outdoors.
We suggest bringing sunscreen, protective clothing, and water. Tour is
canceled if it rains.
