About the event

Join park staff on May 27 at 10:00 am, to listen to the illustrated children’s book The Bad Seed by Jory John (author) and Pete Oswald (illustrator). Participants will enjoy a charming and endearing story about a "bad" seed, learning about the power of positive change, managing emotions, and embracing differences. For a reminder of these important lessons, each participant will plant a seed to take home with them! Free and open to all ages, but recommended for ages 3–10. Registration is required for all participants and children must have a supervising adult(s).

The program will take place indoors in a climate-controlled building, followed by a quick tour of Oak View's gardens and a seed planting activity outdoors under a covered patio.

Schedule: May 27, 2026 Wednesday from 10am to 11am

Duration: 1 hour
