Sunnylands Center and Gardens Annual Family Day Returns

RANCHO MIRAGE (CNS) – The Sunnylands Center and Gardens will host its annual "Family Day: In the Gardens" celebration of desert plants and wildlife Sunday.

The free event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday at 37977 Bob Hope Drive. Parking will be free.

The festivities will begin with Circulo Azteca Citlatonac hosting a community drum circle ceremony. At the same time, knowledgeable "birders" will lead one-hour guided bird walks talking about the local and migratory bird species in the gardens, until 11 a.m.

Throughout the day, attendees can also help create a desert-inspired mural, craft a hummingbird with recycled materials, view a display of wiggler worms to discuss composting methods, view stations for insect and reptile exploration, make mini ecosystems, and have discussions with the Desert Horticultural Society of the Coachella Valley members and UC Riverside master gardeners. Toys and games will also be available for use at the garden’s Great Lawn.

Sunnylands officials encourage attendees to dress for warm weather, use sun protection and to stay hydrated during the event.
