A Wednesday Workshop: DIY Plant Basketry Using Invasive Vines
Take a break from the holiday madness and join LandHealth Institute for a two-hour workshop to create a beautiful and rustic basket from invasive urban vines!
Whether you use your basket as a keepsake personal way to package a gift this season or a functional vessel in your own home, this workshop will provide you with the know-how to harvest your own materials and continue weaving baskets on your own. This workshop will be led by LandHealth Institute’s Rachael Griffith, a useful plant enthusiast and urban forager. Cost: $10 per person including materials. (Limit to 20 participants as there are tricky parts and people will need personal attention.)
Workshop proceeds will benefit LHI, a nonprofit dedicated to putting nature back and restoring connections between people and nature in the city. REGISTER HERE.
Join us weekly on Wednesday evenings for workshops that will inspire and enable a stronger connection of our homes and lifestyles to nature and community. From how-to workshops on topics of self-sufficiency and urban homesteading to discussions about gardening for biodiversity, Wednesday night programs will guide us in methods of creating more sustainable, connected, and personally satisfying ways of modern living.
