Mr. Nature’s Music Garden performs (in-person & virtually) at birthday parties, celebrations, playgroups, in the classroom, nursing homes and local businesses. Mr. Nature fits in almost any situation providing Life Enrichment programing for all!

Anthony shared, "Ever since I can remember music, books and the great outdoors have been an incredibly strong and positive force in my life. Cultivating and shaping who I am right now! With and through these influences I have had the privilege of helping develop and facilitate interactive music, art and story time programs for children and families through employment at different local businesses before taking a leap of faith and creating my own business providing interactive programs for everyone in our community, young, old and the young at heart. Music and storytelling are an incredible tool that promotes the building and strengthening of strong social skills like kindness, sharing, teamwork, confidence, literacy, empathy and compassion. I am so humbled by the Little Leafs and their families, our amazing community, the local businesses, musicians, teachers, hospitals, care centers, schools and so many more that provide time and space for these programs and continue to contribute to Mr. Nature's uprising! Thank you.”
