For parents, too
Community grows in the in-between moments.
Wild Poppy is as much about parents finding connection as it is about kids exploring art and singing songs. It’s a place to pause, breathe fresh air, and celebrate the joy—and chaos—of raising little ones.
This is a collaborative group. We welcome parents to bring a favorite story, help with a craft, share a snack, or simply show up. Most weeks we’re in Glen Park Canyon; occasionally we mix it up with a backyard gathering or city adventure. Once you come on Wednesday mornings, we'll add you to our WhatsApp group for regular schedule updates and communication.
