About
The Gutenberg Library hosts a playful gardening-themed storytelling session for children aged 6 and up on Saturday, November 7, 2026. During this one-hour event, participants will explore the world of fruits and vegetables through a series of humorous tales and lighthearted interactions. Set in the heart of the 15th arrondissement, this activity is entirely free of charge, though registration is required to attend. The venue is fully accessible to visitors with physical, sensory, or cognitive disabilities, ensuring an inclusive experience where everyone can enjoy these whimsical vegetable-inspired stories together.
The Gutenberg library is transforming into a round nursery, just like the Earth.
Come garden with the moon and watch the fruits and vegetables grow. Some will chime in for fear of being left out. Sometimes they will tell us nutty stories, but with our artichoke hearts, we will love them anyway. Let's not make a big deal out of it and listen to them all—it will give us a boost!
Registration required, ages 6 and up.
