Jan : A New Page, Nature Journaling and Photography

With a New Year comes New Memories.

Start 2026 with a new page…quite literally. A nature journal and photos not only helps you record observations but lets you discover details and ask questions that make each and every nature experience unforgettable.

Grab a refreshing drink, delicious sandwich and other goodies in the Art House Café then sit back and relax for a discussion on how to Stop, Discover and Record this new year’s observations.

Insider Tips -

# 1 : Walk the River Oaks Court's short loop trail to the river. Relax at the wooden tables and chairs or just a few feet further walk down on the river's edge.

# 2 : The Native Plant Garden was installed by Medina Gardens & Nursery. Walk over 3 acres of trails designed for butterflies and other pollinators. No one knows the local plants better - or is friendlier - than Ishmael !
