The Friends of Martin's Park is celebrating the end of the summer season with our inaugural Teddy Bear Picnic.

Come enjoy beautiful displays of sunflowers, berries, herbs and medicinal plants throughout the space and learn how the Park has become an active migration stop for birds and pollinators.

We pay homage to the smallest of our sunflower varieties at the Park, the Teddy Bear Sunflower, and invite children of all ages to bring their Teddy Bear or other ‘lovie’ for a morning of fun.

Bring your favorite lovie and pack a picnic!
