Community Calendar

We are living in an age where our attention span is manipulated and bombarded on a daily basis with too much information, thanks to laptops, iPads, and phones. But remember that sense of wonder as a child when walking your neighborhood and you could feel and see and smell the changes of the seasons and how that shaped your behavior? In this workshop, we will explore how to get back to a more sense-based existence—that will both inform and shape your writing, as well as help with your editing. We will discuss methods and habits that can enhance your situational awareness by using all of your senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. And we will examine and discuss the writings of authors known for their descriptive ability to place the reader in a certain time and place.

Watching urban wildlife in your own backyard, taking daily walks in your neighborhood or an evening drive in the country with the windows down, or walking into a bakery and being engulfed in the aroma of freshly baked breads and cookies all are sensory experiences. In this workshop, we will complete a series of writing exercises to hone your writing skills using the power of observations—noticing the extraordinary in the everyday, and noticing the ordinary with a sense of wonder.

All aboard! The Paul Busse Garden Railway is arriving at the Conservatory station.

Guests can journey with the trains through a miniature world of 51 botanical models made from all-natural plant material. Special elements to add to your itinerary include an enchanted tree hollow, two waterfalls, a bubbling brook and plantings specific to each themed destination.

Experience Blooms & Butterflies in the Pacific Island Water Garden, where hundreds of exotic butterflies glide through bright nectar flowers. As you wander the garden, you’ll see butterflies feeding, resting, and gliding through the air in an ever-changing display of color and movement. Don’t miss the Metamorphosis Lab, where you can watch butterflies take their very first flight as they emerge from their chrysalises throughout the day.

Some of the coolest riders and sharpest bikes in the city roll into Our Haus on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays from April through September — and we love hosting the crew.

Ride in, hang out, and enjoy the energy of Euro Bike Night.

*Weather permitting.
