Visitors of all ages may borrow hand lenses for close observation of our urban ecosystem, use nature guides to help identify the different animals, trees, and rocks found in their yard, or take time to relax in the shade and draw from nature. Wagner staff will be available to facilitate use of materials, but Fridays in the Field is a mostly unguided opportunity to experience the Wagner Teaching Garden.
Visitors looking to attend Fridays in the Field must enter the museum through the front entrance on Montgomery Street and check in with the front desk. Visitors who walk-in and visitors who preregister will have full access to the museum and access to the yard from 1:00 – 3:30 pm on Fridays.
