Fellows Riverside Garden hosted a flower-themed Family Fun Friday on June 17.
Every Friday during the summer, families are welcomed to Fellows Riverside Gardens to participate in various drop-in activities in the Family Garden. The afternoon is free and includes activities like yoga, face painting, storytelling and much more.
Special guests attended the Family Fun Friday to paint faces and to teach yoga. Several yoga mats were set out in an open space in the garden for guests to use during the lesson.
There is a different theme each Friday for the families to learn about. Those who attended the event on June 17 learned all about different flowers in the garden.
Employees of Mill Creek MetroParks were available for families to ask questions and to lead the different drop-in activities. There was also a pop-up library available for children to look at books and sign up for a library card.
