Please join us for the October General Meeting and Plant Exchange!
The meeting will begin at 7:00 pm, with socializing beginning at 6:45 pm. This meeting will be hosted in-person at the Snohomish Senior Center. In addition to the speaker, we will be hosting a plant exchange! If you have a plant (or more) to share, bring it to the October General Meeting. We will have a tarp and/or table set up outside beginning at 6:30 pm. Members may bring and/or take a plant (or more). Please remember to label your plant AND if no one takes your plant, you need to take your offer back home.
This month's speaker is Erin Cox who will present on Foraging for Basketry and Wild Crafts.
Let’s have a conversation about some of the incredible plants that grow here in the Pacific Northwest and explore ways to identify, gather, store and use them to create baskets and crafts that bring nature inside. Whether you live in an urban, suburban or rural setting there are forage-able crafting and weaving materials to be found. You might have to explore with new eyes and add reminders in your calendar...but there are goodies to be had year round.
Daylily, daffodil, dandelion, crocosmia, iris, cattails, juncus, bulrush, ivy, honeysuckle, wisteria, dogwood, willow and more!
Erin will share about her approach to sustainable and responsible foraging. We should all care for the plants we harvest, preserve the environments they grow in, respect the owners and keepers of the land, and be safe…for ourselves and nature.
This discussion is for beginners - leveraging plenty of show & tell. There are 100’s of plants and crafts to explore but you will walk away with some fun easy ways to get started.
This meeting is free to members and $15.00 for nonmembers.
