Winter/Spring 2023
Naturalist walks, gardening classes, and yoga…and more to come! Scroll down to learn more about these exciting opportunities and to see some of our collaborative programs we offer.
Restorative Yoga Class with Jaime-Lyn Gaudet
Monday, March 27th, 7pm-8pm
This evening class will combine the meditative qualities of a slow flow and the deep nourishment of a restorative practice. Beginning with a slow and intentional flow to move stagnant energy, we will then shift toward longer held, fully supported, restorative postures to foster quiet and calm in both mind and body. During this practice, we will cultivate a sense of steadiness and ease within, as we move into a more quiet and still space. All are welcome, from beginner to seasoned practitioner, for this hour of self care.
Bird’s Nest Weaving with Ferriss Donham
Sunday, April 2nd, 2:00-3:00 pm
Learn how to create a compostable, all-foraged decorative bird’s nest to use as a spring decoration! Ferriss provides all the materials necessary to learn how to weave your own nest, just like a bird would, with foraged sticks, straw, moss and small flowers. The nests are easy to make! All of the materials are compostable and will not end up in a landfill.
Children 10+ may register and attend with a registered adult
Full Moon Walk with Boot Boutwell
Thursday, April 6th, 7:30 – 9:30 p.m.
Alternate Date in case of Inclement Weather – Wednesday, April 5
Children 10+ may register with an accompanying adult.
Thursday, April 6 is the day of The Full Pink Moon. We’ll be hoping for clear skies so that we can watch the Moon rise in the east from the hilltop behind the All Seasons Barn.
We’ll begin with a little poetry and a discussion of what causes the phases of the Moon as we wait for the Moon to appear, learning about why it is called “The Full Pink Moon.”
Then we’ll go out onto the sanctuary for a walk through the fields, around the farm pond and into the woods to enjoy the natural world as the sky darkens. We’ll return to the ASB to watch the Moon climb higher in the east while we enjoy a bonfire as we share Full Moon memories.
Perennial Propagation Workshop
Friday, April 30th, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m.
Learn how to make more flowers from one little plant or batch of bulbs to expand your spring garden!
Ferriss will demonstrate how to divide muscari (grape hyacinth bulbs) and primula (primula vulgaris). You will divide your own in class as she assists. These perennials can be planted into your spring garden to bloom for many years to come, with the acquired knowledge of how to divide and share them in the future. Both plants make lovely fragrant cut flowers for a spring bouquet.
As the dividing process can get a little messy, please be prepared to get some dirt on your hands!
