Join us at the San Antonio River Foundation’s Pollinator Tea Party for a hands-on lesson in nature’s recycling system by creating a “Spore Story.” In this activity, you will write a private story fold it into an origami pouch, and fill it with the ingredients for new life. By combining wildflower seeds with mushroom mycelium, you are building a "story" of growth, patience, and decomposition.
