FOCUS ON NATURE
*************************
Focus on Nature's 6th annual Garden Party, a highlight of Guelph’s spring social calendar, will be held in the beautiful gardens of Ker Cavan, home of Martin Bosch and Nancy Sullivan, at 22 Stuart Street, on Sunday June 9 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
The Garden Party will feature a new photo exhibit by young photographers, music by talented performers, tasty treats and refreshments, and lots of great prizes on the silent auction tables.
The event is free and open to the public, thanks to corporate sponsors TD Bank, Guelph Toyota, Knar Jewellery, RLB LLP, Weiler & Company and Balnar Management. No tickets to purchase but donations to support the program will be gratefully accepted. Guests are asked to register in advance on Eventbrite.
The Garden Party offers a chance to learn more about Focus on Nature's innovative school program that connects kids to nature through photography. Their school workshops and camps have grown rapidly in southern Ontario and are now offered in Hamilton, the Waterloo and Halton Regions, as well as Guelph and Wellington County. Over 17,000 children have participated since social worker Shirley Hunt and photographer Trina Koster founded the organization in 2008.
Focus on Nature is a registered charity that inspires young people to explore and connect with their local environment through nature photography. At school workshops and day camps as well as through photography exhibits, they give children of all abilities and backgrounds a renewed awareness of their own creative potential while exploring the natural world around them.
