  • Google Calendar ICS

Join eco-artist Erica Mulder for a Wreath Making workshop. Make your own wreath with a mix of native and non-native plants! We'll start by weaving wreath bases out of invasive holly branches. From there we'll decorate them with Douglas fir, holly, cedar, red alder and more. Participants will be invited to learn about the plants they are using and better understand them while working with them.

About the artist:

Erica Mulder (she/her) is a mixed European settler who grew up in Burnaby, BC. She's interested in exploring our relationship with plants and how it's shaped by social and political forces. She's particularly focused on invasive and native plants. She builds relationships with invasive plants both by doing removal work and exploring uses for these plants, including dyeing, paper making and weaving. She works to help spread native plants through her work with Starseed Collective, a project that mails free natives seeds to people on Coast Salish land.

Mushroom Walk with Willoughby Arevalo

With hands of an artist, eyes of an ecologist, and the heart of a deeply connected human, DIY Mushroom Cultivation author Willoughby Arévalo brings the practical and the joyful together through the science and wonder of mycology. His work is an invitation to not only learn from fungi, but to grow one’s true earthy relationships.

Tracing mycelial webs through the forest, we will encounter and observe fungi with multiple senses to try to understand their worlds, lifeways, relationships and behaviour. The conversation will include basic principles of mushroom identification based on features visible with the naked eye, helping you be able to recognize mushroom form groups and work towards learning important genera and species. Learn where and how to safely collect specimens for ID and an honourable harvest. Connect with resources for further learning. Special attention will be given to some of the most ecologically impactful, edible, medicinal and toxic species.

Please pre register - this event is $15 per person.
