June 2023 Yard Talk: Summer Solstice Horticultural Therapy

June 21, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Summer Solstice: A Horticultural Therapy Exercise in Mindfulness

In honor of the arrival of summer, we will be pairing ourselves with a plant partner of our choice, learning to observe in a present, mindful sense with a quiet meditation, as well as a drawing, journaling, and printmaking exercise with our chosen plant material.

In this workshop, we will discuss plant appreciation versus plant blindness, and work to make ourselves more aware of the flourishing green world around us. Attendees will be making prints with paint and brushes.

Kate Irvine is a trained horticulturist and mixed media artist with a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture with a Certificate in Horticultural Therapy from Temple University and a Bachelor of Art in Fine Art from Moore College of Art and Design. She has also had experience studying and working with medicinal herbs, and has cultivated a broad collection of native and ornamental shrubs and perennials for her own home garden.
