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.

This story walk will be up in the Backcountry during our regular business hours from September 14 until September 21. This activation does require admission to the Garden. (https://sbbotanicgarden.org/classes-events/backcountry-bilingual-story-walk-in-celebration-of-latino-conservation-week/)
