About this plan
Looking for something different to do in Bogotá? The workshop "Between Birds and Roots: Memories of the Forest" is worth your time. The LabCo room at BibloRed teams up with the Bogotá Botanical Garden to offer a free experience that takes you through natural areas in Kennedy and helps you notice the life that lives there. You will see the neighborhood in a new way and build knowledge with others.
Over several weeks, participants join walks, garden meetups, bird watching, plant and water body observation, and hands-on sessions with natural dyes and pigments. Everything collected, from drawings to sounds and stories, feeds a shared travel journal. To take part, you only need to sign up in advance, since spots are limited.
