Support nature with beautiful native gardens

Have you been thinking about reducing your lawn, but aren’t sure where to start?

Would you love a home surrounded by flowers (butterflies, bumblebees!) but feel overwhelmed by plant lists and unsure how to pull it all together?

Together, we’ll explore the science behind ecological gardening, get to know many of our stunning native plants, and walk through the design process for creating perennial gardens that are both beautiful and super beneficial.

Through a mix of presentations, group discussion, and hands-on design work, participants will:

Gain a deeper understanding of the pollinators, plants, and ecological connections in their yards

Create a detailed garden design for a wild garden at home

And much more!

Make your own basket and in the process learn one of the oldest crafts in human history. For thousands of years baskets served as indispensable objects in every culture. Carry on the tradition and take home a beautiful, durable and useful basket crafted from responsibly harvested, hand pounded, Vermont black ash logs. This is a great introduction to the extraordinary qualities of the black ash tree. You will weave a square to round basket, approximately 6”x 6” with optional leather strap. Included a discussion and demo on how the material is harvested and processed. To register or for more Information .

Community Dye Party | Free! Come take a dip in the community dye pots! Bring something small-ish and made of cotton, linen, or wool that needs new life. This is a fun way to meet your neighbors, learn about natural dyes, and up-cycle stained or discolored clothing. We will have the indigo pot going + may have a non-plant-based dye to experiment with as well.

Saturday, June 27th 1- 4pm | Mordants + Plant Dyes 101 | $30 with an optional $5 materials fee In this afternoon workshop, we'll cover the entire process of natural dyeing from prep to finish! If you have been finding your at-home dye experiments are a little lackluster or want your community dye pot items to last longer, join us to learn about mordants, color shifting, and how common dye plants like to be cooked. Bring your own well-cleaned cotton, linen, or wool item (smaller than a bed pillowcase please!) to skip the materials fee. Sign up + more information here.
