"Enhancing Sense of Place," Journal workshop happening today, Wednesday, October 14th, 2026 from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm at the La Plata County Fairgrounds and Event Center Extension Building Pine Room.

What if your garden could tell you a story? A leaf you almost overlooked. A pollinator you've never noticed before. The first frost. A strange mushroom. A patch of wildflowers that suddenly appears. A scientific field journal helps you slow down, observe, ask questions, and remember the little details that make a place yours.

Join us for Enhancing Sense of Place: How Every Gardener Can Keep A Scientific 'Field Journal' and discover how journaling can transform the way you see your garden and the landscape around you. You don't have to be an artist or a scientist; you just have to be curious. And the best part, its FREE!

Select one date for your preferred session A and another date for session B:
A. Sunday, October 11, 2:00-4:00 PM
A. Wednesday, Oct. 14, 3:00-5:00 PM

B. Wednesday, October 21, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
B. Sunday, Oct. 25, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
