Drip Painting in the Garden
The pollinator garden at the East Hampton Town Hall campus will be the inspiration for a drip-painting workshop with Joyce Raimondo on Saturday at 11 a.m. The free workshop is open to children 5 and up accompanied by an adult. Registration is by emailing [email protected].
While children are painting, adults can take a tour of the garden, including a new native pollinator grassland meadow created by ChangeHampton, and “learn about the plants, processes, and tools we offer to transform your lawn into a healthy environment,” the group says on its website.
Kids on the Case
At the Montauk Library on Saturday, kids will become “crime scene” investigators. Starting at 11 a.m., they’ll work in teams to crack the case of the missing Madagascar hissing roaches in this program for fifth graders and up that comes to the library courtesy of the Long Island Science Center. Participants will use fingerprinting, chromatography, and other techniques to follow the clues. Registration with the library is required.
