Explore your local ecosystem this summer at the Wagner's Fridays in the Field! Beginning June 20th, the Wagner Teaching Garden will be open for independent educational exploration every Friday from 1 - 3:30pm.
The Wagner's Teaching Garden is our most valuable classroom. Not only is our green space full of pollinator gardens, but it is also a certified Wildlife Habitat, Bird Habitat, and Monarch Waystation—our milkweed plants provide valuable nutrients for Monarch butterflies during their cross continental migration.
Visitors of all ages may borrow hand lenses for close observation of our urban ecosystem, use nature guides to help identify the different animals, trees, and rocks found in our yard, or take time to relax in the shade and draw from nature. Wagner staff will be available to facilitate use of materials, but Fridays in the Field is a mostly unguided opportunity to experience the Wagner Teaching Garden.
Visitors looking to attend Fridays in the Field must enter the museum through the front entrance on Montgomery street and check in with the front desk. Visitors who walk-in and visitors who preregister, here or through the 2025 Visit the Wagner Eventbrite, will have full access to the museum and access to the yard from 1pm - 3:30pm on Fridays.
