Create and paint your own V.O.G. (Vertical Oyster Garden), drink some eggnog, and learn how YOU can help restore our bay!

Want to give back to our local Tampa Bay estuary while getting in the holiday spirit? Join us to learn more about oysters and how they help Tampa Bay while making your very own vertical oyster garden (VOG)! Participants who would like to hang a VOG from their personal pier or seawall will also have the opportunity to contribute to current oyster restoration efforts by enrolling in our new citizen science program.

Holiday refreshments and activities will be provided. All ages are welcome!

NOTE: Parking is limited at the Preserve, so carpooling is strongly encouraged.
