Picture This: Photography & Astronomy

Through photography and astronomy, the Garden invites you to view the world around — and above — you in fresh ways.

First, the Houston Center for Photography presents a fun and interactive scavenger hunt. You’ll be given a list of creative prompts to practice observation skills and spark new ways of seeing your surroundings. This activity — which is great for all ages — encourages exploration, teamwork, and imaginative image-making.

Second, the Houston Astronomical Society will have telescopes set up for safe solar observations, followed by viewing of the moon, Venus, and some of the other brightest stars after dark.

*South Garden, including Susan Garver Family Discovery Garden, will close at 8 p.m.
