natives are nice
Native plants feed native insects, which are the foundation of life on this planet. Every yard, garden, and patio pot needs more natives.

PlayIn Time’s music circles build musical connection and community through shared fun. Get ready to dance, jam, and learn!

Classes will run on Friday mornings from 10:15 – 11:00 AM, March 28 through June 13.
