From the texture of leaves to the scent of crushed herbs and the warmth of brewed tea, this hands-on workshop invites you to connect with native plants through your senses and their stories.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”809509″] Expand your awareness of the native plants around you and discover the living relationships that connect plants, wildlife, and people. From the catkins of beaked hazelnut to the shiny serrated leaves of evergreen huckleberry, the forests, fields, coastlines, and riverbanks of Western Washington are enlivened by native plants. Learning to recognize these wild neighbors opens the door to a deeper relationship with the landscapes we move through every day. In this hands-on field workshop, you’ll learn how to identify plants by observing key features of their leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits while exploring the habitats where they thrive. Along the way, you’ll begin to see your natural surroundings through the lens of plant communities and ecological connections.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”100894″] Gather plant fibers from the landscape and learn to twist them into strong, beautiful cord through the timeless craft of natural cordage.From the flexible strands of blackberry vine to the inner bark of willow, the landscapes around us hold fibers that can be twisted, braided, and woven into thread. For thousands of years, people have transformed plant materials into cordage used for tools, baskets, nets, and textiles. In this hands-on field workshop, you’ll gather plant materials and learn the simple yet powerful techniques used to turn them into strong and beautiful cord. As your hands work the fibers, you’ll begin to see familiar plants in a new light, discovering the creative possibilities hidden in stems, bark, and vines.

She was inspired by her own Montessori and non-traditional education background to pursue working with young people, but fell in love with environmental science during her time at Everett Community College’s Ocean Research College Academy (ORCA) program. She spent her college and early career learning how to combine these two interests and fell into the Environmental Education field. Jamie earned her B.A. in Environmental Studies from the University of Washington, and a M.A.Ed in Urban Environmental Education from Antioch University Seattle. She has 10 years of experience working with youth across a variety of program formats in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. Most recently, she worked at an outdoor self-directed learning center, and as the education director for a small rainforest conservation nonprofit in St. Louis, MO. Jamie has experience in program design and facilitation with Montessori, traditional schools and NGSS, self-directed learning centers, and outdoor informal education programs. She is excited to return to her home and family in Western Washington and to spend her days outdoors at Oxbow. Across all roles, she works to center youth voices and autonomy, consent, and community. In her free time, Jamie is a collector of hobbies. She enjoys hiking, biking, paddle-boarding wood carving and woodworking, candle making, crochet and knitting, linocut print making, painting, cooking, and spending time with loved ones.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”136098″][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”142296″] Grant-supported Pricing[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1/4″ uncode_shortcode_id=”934929″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”199801″][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”3/4″ uncode_shortcode_id=”112200″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”113658″]We’re excited to offer this workshop at just $5, thanks to generous funding from 4Culture’s Doors Open grant!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”126123″] Sustain the flavors of the season by transforming fresh fruit into jams and preserves to savor and share all year long. From the burst of ripe berries to the gentle simmer of fruit on the stove, preserving holds the fleeting sweetness of the season. For generations, families have turned summer harvests into jars of jam and jelly that brighten winter breakfasts and carry the memory of warm days long after the fruit is gone. In this hands-on kitchen workshop, you’ll work together to safely transform fresh fruit into simple preserves while learning the science and tradition behind the process. As fruit cooks and flavors deepen, you’ll gain the confidence to turn everyday harvests into something lasting, delicious, and worth sharing.
