Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
Enjoy a creative day learning Asian brush painting techniques such as dry brush, wet-in-wet, and glazed brush painting strokes. Join us to learn both traditional and modern watercolor techniques and paint the following subjects on rice paper: vegetables with a basket, sweet corn, loquat fruit tree with birds, and grapes on a vine. You will also learn the calligraphy for each of the subjects taught. Bring your own supplies, or reserve and purchase a $25 supply kit from the instructor on the day of the class.
Pollinator gardens can thrive in urban areas in many different ways. Join us to explore how both native and non-native plants meet pollinator needs. Learn sources for the plants you can use to create rich gardens in your own urban space. Your new understanding of how pollinators and plants work together will guide your plant selection, leading to your personal urban pollinator refuge.
