Birds in our Backyard (June 28-July1) Cancelled due to Extreme Temperatures

Let’s explore our resident and visiting birds to find out who is living in and around the garden, and why they’re such an important part of the living landscape. Let’s “be the bird” as we open our awareness to the different shapes, sizes, songs and calls of the birds in our backyard.

Natures Musical Garden (July 5-8) FULL

Join us for a week of deep listening to find the sounds of nature occurring all around us in the garden. We will gather to create a soundscape of the garden, as well as find creative ways to add to nature’s orchestra! 

Ethnobotany (July 12-15) 2 spots available

Plants and humans evolved alongside one another in a symbolic dance of discovery and creation. Come along on a journey through time to discover how people once lived and crafted with the materials around them. 

Pollinators (July 19-22) 3 spots available

Pollinators help flowers produce seeds we need to grow food! Come discover the magic of pollination within different flowers, and the critters that make it all possible as we investigate the many faces, forms, and habitats of our pollinator friends throughout the garden and beyond. 

Garden Chefs (July 26-29) FULL with waitlist

This week will be fueled by flavor and fun as we celebrate and express our imaginations through food related art projects and attune our senses to the fine flavors and aromas abounding in the summer garden.

Upcycled Art (August 2-5) FULL with waitlist

It’s project time! In partnership with Methow Recycles, we will be creatively repurposing recycled materials to bring beauty to the garden while learning new ways to reuse our “waste” to make fun, useful objects. 

Artistic Chefs (August 9-12) 4 spaces available

Food and Art come together for magic in the garden this week. Artistic expressions with garden goodies as our subject. Beauty and tasty treats abound.
