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.

Two fuzzy creatures are happily putting the finishing touches on their sandcastle when each of them thinks of something that would make it even better. As they work furiously to incorporate each new change, their tiny sandcastle becomes an over-the-top palace…but is it really perfect?

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/)

Detalles:

Disfruta de un recorrido narrativo bilingüe por la zona silvestre del Jardín en celebración de la Semana de la Conservación Latina. En colaboración con la Biblioteca Pública de Santa Bárbara, el Jardín compartirá la historia “No es (tan) perfecto” de 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. Mientras trabajan frenéticamente para incorporar cada nuevo cambio, su pequeño castillo de arena se convierte en un palacio exagerado… ¿pero realmente es perfecto?

Este recorrido narrativo estará disponible en la zona silvestre durante nuestro horario regular de atención desde el 14 de septiembre hasta el 21 de septiembre. Esta actividad requiere la entrada al Jardín. (https://sbbotanicgarden.org/classes-events/backcountry-bilingual-story-walk-in-celebration-of-latino-conservation-week/)
