SUMMARY:Guided Garden Tour at the Pratt Museum Botanical Garden
DESCRIPTION:BOTANICAL GARDEN\, HOMESTEAD GARDEN\, AND FOREST TRAIL TOURS \nFREE // May 30 – August 30 // Thursdays and Saturdays \, 11am – Noon \nJoin the Pratt Museum Garden Crew for guided tours of the Botanical Gardens\, Homestead Garden\, and Forest Trails. \nWe will offer an interpretive introduction to the broader ecology of the Kachemak Bay region and describe the ways that we incorporate the plant communities of the region into the Botanical Garden at the Museum. Botany experts and novices alike can find delightful insights as we explore the interactions and dynamics of our local ecosystem. \nThe Homestead Garden is an ever-evolving exhibit featuring many classic fruits and vegetables and a few specific local varieties that have been treasured by the local community for generations. We will explore some of the basics of plant propagation\, discuss the benefits of perennial food crops and talk about food preservation and storage. Snacking is encouraged! Throughout the season\, something is always worth sampling from the garden\, though the real delight is black currant season in late autumn. \nThe Forest Trails showcase the ecological context in which the Museum is embedded. These trails wind through one of the larger remaining wild spaces in downtown Homer\, and have some of the largest remaining trees in the area. Wildlife is abundant and the plant communities are diverse. There are several loops of varying distance that wind through the nearly 10 acre forest. A meander through these woods with one of our guides will offer an opportunity for wildlife sightings\, listening to songbirds\, and discussing the ethnobotanical and historical uses of plants that live in our region.

SUMMARY:Grasping the Nettle: Two-Day Fiber Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Grasping the Nettle – Two-Day Fiber Workshop\nFriday\, July 17 from 5 – 7pm & Saturday\, July 18 from 1 – 3pm \n$80 per person | $70 per member | $100 pay it forward (support the Museum’s ability to host special workshops like this year-round) \nLearn ways of working with nettle as a fiber plant with award-winning local multi-media artist and fiber explorer Carla Klinker. \nWorking with nettles is a seasonal and tactile process that invites community connectivity. The long bast fiber of stinging nettle\, Urtica dioica\, has been used to make string and cloth for thousands of years across the world. Nettle grows wild and abundant in marginal land and often considered a weed. In folklore\, magical nettle garments appear often as powerful symbols of perseverance\, devotion\, protection\, and transformation. \nDuring this two-day class\, you’ll learn about nettle’s history and then dive into the raw material – harvesting\, processing\, and creating your own cordage to take home. All supplies provided. Responsible teens and adults only. \n— \n[gravityform id=”63″ title=”true”]

SUMMARY:Guided Garden Tour at the Pratt Museum Botanical Garden
DESCRIPTION:BOTANICAL GARDEN\, HOMESTEAD GARDEN\, AND FOREST TRAIL TOURS \nFREE // May 30 – August 30 // Thursdays and Saturdays \, 11am – Noon \nJoin the Pratt Museum Garden Crew for guided tours of the Botanical Gardens\, Homestead Garden\, and Forest Trails. \nWe will offer an interpretive introduction to the broader ecology of the Kachemak Bay region and describe the ways that we incorporate the plant communities of the region into the Botanical Garden at the Museum. Botany experts and novices alike can find delightful insights as we explore the interactions and dynamics of our local ecosystem. \nThe Homestead Garden is an ever-evolving exhibit featuring many classic fruits and vegetables and a few specific local varieties that have been treasured by the local community for generations. We will explore some of the basics of plant propagation\, discuss the benefits of perennial food crops and talk about food preservation and storage. Snacking is encouraged! Throughout the season\, something is always worth sampling from the garden\, though the real delight is black currant season in late autumn. \nThe Forest Trails showcase the ecological context in which the Museum is embedded. These trails wind through one of the larger remaining wild spaces in downtown Homer\, and have some of the largest remaining trees in the area. Wildlife is abundant and the plant communities are diverse. There are several loops of varying distance that wind through the nearly 10 acre forest. A meander through these woods with one of our guides will offer an opportunity for wildlife sightings\, listening to songbirds\, and discussing the ethnobotanical and historical uses of plants that live in our region.
