“Grow Green”
Family Garden Walk
Sunday, July 27
4 to 6 pm FREE
Living “green” means making healthy, Earth-friendly choices that are
good for the environment and good for your family. Take time together and
learn about the green at Boerner Botanical Gardens this summer. Find out
what each of us can do to “Grow Green.”
Kermit the Frog thought it is not easy being green. But here at Boerner it is! As you stroll through the different Gardens you will find activity tables from community and cultural organizations.
Jerry Johnson, song writer and musician, will present an educational
music program, “Plant Tunes.” Join in the singing and
the story telling. Jerry will involve children in the writing
of an original song entitled “Grow Green.” Bring your
ideas and singing voice.
Since 1989, Jerry Johnson has presented performances,
residencies, and workshops in the areas of nature, cross-
cultural understanding, and folklore. He has produced
three CDs of his songs. Johnson
