Upcoming workshops and events 


New Program! Stories of Food and Gardening Through Clay
This 1.5-2 hour program is available to groups of all ages with an interest in food. We'll start with a tour of the Gardiner Museum's gallery to learn about the history of food and gardening through clay and ceramic arts. Groups will try their hands at making their own clay pieces for home or garden in the Museum's clay studio. Curriculum linked for school groups. For info and to book, contact us.


New Workshop! Vibrant well-being in times of stress
This three part workshop series delves into ways that stress is expressed in ourselves, our communities and nature. Using Jungian principles, and personal and interpersonal exploration, we uncover topics including:

- Lessons from the garden and woods on dealing with stress;
- Nature play for self understanding, visioning and creative expression;
- Taking direction from the sensory world;
- Garden-based healing practices;
- Strengthening our capacity to be healthy in community.
