Art that grows in FlyO’Land is our annual event that brings families together to explore environmental care and sustainable practices. Families can participate in hands-on activities such as making recycled paper, crafting plantable artworks, and experiencing our special device that detects how the plants generate music.
Through this event, we want to remind people to recognize overlooked recyclable items that are often discarded. We want to show how creativity can turn them into reusable materials, giving them new life. Our small changes and simple ideas can make a meaningful contribution to our planet.
Date: Saturday, June 21, 2025
Time: 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM
Participants: This event is free for all FlyO’Land guests, with limited free admission available through the Promise of Seeds.
Location: 5000 Canoe Pass Way, Entry 3, Tsawwassen BC, FlyO'Land Kids Play Center
Handmade Plantable Paper
Participants will create plantable paper from recycled materials. They will explore combining different colours and textures of materials to produce unique, personalized handmade paper. Participants can also select flower or vegetable seeds to embed into the pulp and create plantable paper.
Creative Collage Art
We prepared materials such as old magazines, newspapers, dried flowers, and leaves for participants. Participants will creatively arrange and layer these recycled elements on plantable paper, forming unique and nature-inspired collages.
Stamp Art Station
Participants can use our colourful ink pads to stamp various patterns on plantable recycled paper. They can also draw with stamps and create mini cards. All paper is plantable.
Plant Music Interaction
Discover how plants “play” music in this interactive zone. Our special device translates plant signals into sound and melodies, allowing you to explore how science reveals the invisible ways plants sense. It’s a fun and unique way to connect with nature and the hidden life of plants.
Seeds of Life
The Vancouver community gardens generously donated over 30 varieties of seeds. We’ll use images and displays to show how these seeds sprout and grow into vegetables and flowers, and explain why these plants are important to our lives. We’ll also share some invasive plants that affect our community environment.
Info Booth
The Info Booth welcomes families to learn about our mission and activities. Visitors can also meet our volunteers, ask questions, and discover how to get involved. More surprise prizes will be found here.
