Enjoy a bilingual story walk through the Garden’s Backcountry in celebration of Latino Conservation Week. In partnership with the Santa Barbara Public Library, the Garden will be sharing the story “It Is (Not) Perfect” by Anna Kang.

Dos criaturas peludas están felices terminando los últimos detalles de su castillo de arena, cuando cada una de ellas piensa en algo que lo haría aún mejor.
