Discovery Day
Explore a full day of FREE mix-and-match mini workshops that build nature skills, spark curiosity, and invite your feedback.
From the scent of fresh herbs to the “ah-ha!” moments of new connections and the laughter of families sharing time outdoors together, Oxbow Discovery Days (formerly known as Pilot Programs) invite you into a living, evolving learning experience.
Across farm fields and forest trails, moments of curiosity unfold into skills through lessons like plant identification, container gardening, botanical print-making, and more.
