Gardeners’ Gathering

Spend the morning at the Colour-Me-Local Dye Garden for some fun getting your hands dirty, connecting with gardeners in the community, learning about natural dye plants, and exchanging gardening knowledge. At Gardeners’ Gatherings, we weed, water, and maintain the garden which provides the dye, fibre and medicine plants.

This session will feature: Prepare Beds for Planting, Compost Discussion. UPDATE – no clay pot making at this session, there is too much gardening to do first!

Meadow Making at Cornett Road

Help us transform a new meadow site at the corner of Cornett Road and Natal Street! We’ll remove invasive species, clear debris, and prepare the soil to seed a beautiful mix of native plants. This site is a key restoration area along Still Creek—the farthest west that chum salmon have returned! We aim to complete this restoration by the end of 2025, creating a vibrant meadow and gathering space to celebrate salmon, native plants, and biodiversity.

Get your hands in the soil and be part of this exciting transformation!

Pro-D Day Camp: Art in the Garden

Join us for an exciting outdoor Pro-D day camp for kids ages 7-12!

Kids will also have plenty of active time, learn about local plants and animals and connect with the natural world.

Beavers Beavering at Burnaby Blooms

Join Still Moon Arts in celebrating spring at the Burnaby Blooms festival at Deer Lake Park. This is always a fun event with music, talks and tours, and lots of art creations by local ecoartists. 

Still Moon will be premiering Beavers Beavering, which explores beavers’ world through site-specific performances featuring three beavers collecting branches, chewing, preening, feeding and building dams and lodges. We’ll have some other surprises too!

We hope to see you there!
