SUMMARY:Future Ancestors Water & Land Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first official Future Ancestors community workshop at the Future Ancestors Library Garden. Together\, we’ll build rainwater catchment systems\, explore how water shapes our local landscape\, and take part in hands-on activities for all ages. This is the beginning of a new outdoor learning space rooted in restoration\, sustainability\, and community care.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n What to Expect \nVisitors will be able to explore a variety of hands-on and educational activities throughout the workshop\, including:… \n\nA live rain barrel system build & demonstration (join in or observe)\nHands-on activities for all ages\, like rock painting & coloring activities\nCommunity rain barrel painting inspired by native plants and pollinators\nNative plant and pollinator exploration\nA community idea board where visitors can help imagine the future of the garden\nCome-and-go participation… stay as long as you’d like!\n\n\n Hands – On Build \nWant to get involved? Volunteers will have the opportunity to help build and install rain barrels during the workshop. This is a great chance to learn how rainwater catchment systems work while contributing directly to the garden. \nNo experience needed… just come ready to learn and participate \nSign up to volunteer HERE! \n\n Why This Matters \nThe Future Ancestors Library Garden is a “living library”… an extension of the library into the landscape. This space is being created to restore native ecosystems\, support pollinators\, and provide accessible\, hands-on learning opportunities for the Balch Springs community. \n\n Take – Home Experience \nParticipants may also leave with small\, garden-inspired items to continue the experience at home. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLet Us Know You’re Coming!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWalk-ups are welcome\, but RSVPs help us plan materials & activities.\nRSVP (Free & Optional) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Support the Garden \nThis project is community-supported.
