🌱 Planting Seeds of Connection:

HFS Nature Social


Monday, August 3, 2026 |

Clover Park, Santa Monica


Join Hearts For Sight for a relaxed morning of nature, gardening, and meaningful community connections at Clover Park.


Our featured activity, Planting Seeds of Connection, is a hands-on gardening experience designed to engage the senses. Participants will plant a small flower, herb, or other plant while taking part in guided conversations about personal growth, resilience, favorite memories in nature, and the relationships that help us thrive.


This activity will be accessible for blind and visually impaired participants, with an emphasis on touch, scent, and verbal instruction. Whether you enjoy sharing your thoughts or prefer simply to listen, you are welcome to participate at your own comfort level. You’ll leave with a living plant—and perhaps a few new friendships, too!
