The Deep Discovery climate focused education series provides a glimpse into Lakewold Gardens, and its mission of providing intentional encounters with the life-changing power of nature, fostering peace, creativity and healing in our communities.

Lakewold is a living laboratory with opportunities to explore many natural phenomenon. Against a background of ten acres of native Garry Oak and Douglas Fir forest, a collection of plants from four continents is sited on the shores of Gravelly Lake, called (Cook-al-chy) by the local Steilacoom people. At the edge of an ecologically and cultural significant historic prairie, the garden lends itself to science lessons in natural systems; plant biology; topography; hydrology; ecology and environmental stewardship.
