Nature in Action
This July, Summer Saturdays go green with a series of nature-inspired workshops focused on sustainability, creativity, and environmental connection. Each session offers a unique opportunity for kids and families to get their hands dirty—literally!—while learning about pollinators, native plants, and local wildlife.

Buzz & Build
This August, we’re celebrating the power of pollinators through a special three-part series of bee-inspired workshops. From candle-making to bee hotel building and honey harvesting, each session offers a hands-on opportunity to learn, create, and support urban biodiversity.
Farmers’ Market
Every Saturday from June 14 to October 11, the YZD Farmers Market invites you to experience the best of local food and community.
Runway Rivers
Experience Runway Rivers at YZD, where painted waterways and wheeled canoes bring lost streams back to life along the Runway tarmac.
YZD Plaza
Imagination takes flight at YZD with a nature-inspired Plaza designed by SLA Architects, anchored by a deconstructed airplane artifact by Anex Works. Open daily and free for all to enjoy, the YZD Plaza is complete with picnic tables and swings, offering a welcoming space to gather, relax, and connect. It reflects YZD’s commitment to transforming underused space into vibrant places for art, community, and creativity in action.
YZD Indigenous Hub
The YZD Indigenous Hub is a seasonal, pop-up garden. We invite you to explore this space, learn about Indigenous gardening and agricultural practices, and reflect on the deep relationships between land, people, plants, and place.
Create with Nature
This September, we’re slowing down and turning to nature for inspiration—learning to create with sunlight, petals, pulp, and more. From cyanotype printing to zero-waste fabric flowers, each session offers a hands-on opportunity to make something beautiful and connect with the world around you.
