Garden Weatherizing Workshop

 

Hi Master Gardeners, 

My name is Cami, I just started as the Community Gardens Coordinator for the city! I am working on putting together a Winterization Workshop on Dec 7^th from 1-3pm at Hal Jensen Community Garden in collaboration with our partner NACA- the flyer below has some details. I wanted to let the CMGA know about the event and invite you all, as well as ask if you would have any bulbs available to donate? 

We are looking for allium and floral bulbs. They will go towards education during the workshop and ultimately they will be planted in our communal and pollinator spaces to feed the community and attract pollinators to the gardens come spring! Let me know if I would be able to access any through your seed library or from individual members who have some on hand. 

I so look forward to partnering with you this season!

Thank you!

Sustainable Botanical Paper Making

 

Adult Workshop: Sustainable Botanical Paper Making

November 16 @ 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

$45

Join Estefania Villaquirán, creator of Natural Integrators, for a fun and creative step-by-step paper-making workshop. You will learn firsthand the techniques of working with recycled materials and pressed flowers to create one-of-a-kind sheets of paper. By repurposing fiber from old books and egg cartons, you will dive into the process of shredding, blending, pulping, screening, dyeing with flowers, draining, pressing, and drying. You will also receive a pre-made card to adorn with pressed flowers, which you will take home, along with your newfound knowledge of papermaking.

Through years of experimenting with this technique, Estefania has developed strong skills in the art of making handmade paper cards at home and has made them available to the community. She creates her art pieces by integrating pressed flowers and meaningful typewritten messages. Her workshops focus on promoting mindful attention and presence, enhancing creativity, connection with nature, and relaxation.

Cost: $45 non-members, $40 Willow Bend members, includes materials. Space is limited.
