SUMMARY:Art in the Garden
DESCRIPTION:Cultivate creativity\, curiosity\, & settle into the restorative power of artmaking in the greenhouse and garden.\n\n\nCombine the art and science of observation in weekly artmaking inspired by plants in the greenhouse and garden.\nLearn meditative and mindful drawing\, printmaking and sculptural techniques\, scientific observation with plant portraiture\, and new practices from botanical and ecologically-focused contemporary artists to create works of art to celebrate the plants and flowers you feel most connected to. Immerse yourself in the learning garden\, greenhouse\, and across Riverbank State Park’s green roof overlooking the Hudson River to create artwork that is rooted in place and in partnership with plants.\nThis is a free drop-in program. Come to every class to build on your skill or come to one or two that you are available for. This class will end in a culminating Community Winter Show to exhibit your work in our greenhouse.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine.\nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.\nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use\, and while we try to cook without peanuts\, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit\, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers.\nOur closest bathrooms are a building away\, about a one-minute walk. A gender neutral bathroom is also available\, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff. We are not a scent-free zone\, and because herbalism classes take place here\, cannot guarantee that the site will be clear of any essential oil smells. If you have needs not addressed here\, please reach out to Mallory Craig at mcraig@thehort.org.

SUMMARY:Art and AgriCulture
DESCRIPTION:What are the food stories that most urgently need to be shared?\n\n\n“Another thing we lost is culture. . . look at the word agriculture. We lost that connection. And so now it’s going back to the culture of agriculture. Why do we grow the food that we do?” – Karen Washington\nWhy do we grow the foods we do? How is culture tied to our local foodways and agricultural systems? What stories of nourishment are you hungry to tell? What creative acts are you being called to digest?\nIn this weekly series\, explore various techniques and practices introduced by visiting artists who will lead us in expressing our relationship to food\, agriculture\, and the histories and stories that shape how we connect with our foodways.\nThrough various artmaking techniques like bookmaking\, printmaking\, collage\, sculpture\, natural-pigment making and painting\, alternative photography processes\, participants will create artwork that begins to answer the question: Where is the culture in agriculture?\nThis is a free drop-in program. Come to every class to build on your skill or come to one or two that you are available for. This class will end in a culminating Community Winter Show to exhibit your work in our greenhouse. Explore your relationship to food and agriculture and the ways these systems can connect us more deeply to our local ecosystems and communities.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine.\nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.\nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Sauté Sizzle Savor
DESCRIPTION:Crafting Storied Recipes with Community Supported Agriculture\n\n\nEach week\, be guided by a guest food-worker\, chef\, artist\, farmer\, or culture-bearer who will help us unpack our CSA box and lead us in making a collectively-crafted meal. Deepen your relationship with the crops that regional farmers are harvesting while in conversations that help us reimagine our relationships to food and farms.\nIn Community in the Kitchen\, we invite participants to come together in the Greenhouse Education Center around the kitchen table to share in the harvest of our weekly CSA share. In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model\, community members and farmers build a reciprocal and mutually-beneficial relationship—community members support farmers by sharing the risk and paying upfront so that farmers can focus on stewarding the land while farmers provide community with healthy\, organic\, and sustainably grown produce at an affordable price that goes directly into the farm’s pockets.\nIn these weekly sessions\, we invite participants to gather and build community as we share recipes\, food stories\, and helpful tips for how to cook with the plants that are in season. Each week\, participants can expect to be guided by food-workers\, culture-bearers\, chefs\, farmers\, elders\, or food-system thought visionaries who will lead us in both cooking class and critical conversation that has us consider how we share the foods we grow in community.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools.

SUMMARY:Recipes and Rituals for Community Care
DESCRIPTION:We heal together in our kitchens\, gardens\, and shared spaces.\n\n\nWhat does it mean to heal in community? What does it feel like when we extend care to ourselves and the collective? How do plants and our local ecologies care for us? How can we care for the plants and local ecologies in return?\nWeave in rituals and recipes into both your own self-care and community care practices through weekly explorations in herbal arts\, somatic movement in the greenhouse and garden\, folk remedies\, and other wild-crafts and meditative activities that foster a deeper connection to plants to care for the body\, mental health\, and the people you move with.\nEach week\, be guided by a guest herbalist\, healing artist\, or wellness practitioner who will help you create your own toolkit and apothecary for self and communal care.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine.\nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.\nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Art and AgriCulture
DESCRIPTION:What are the food stories that most urgently need to be shared?\n\n\n“Another thing we lost is culture. . . look at the word agriculture. We lost that connection. And so now it’s going back to the culture of agriculture. Why do we grow the food that we do?” – Karen Washington\nWhy do we grow the foods we do? How is culture tied to our local foodways and agricultural systems? What stories of nourishment are you hungry to tell? What creative acts are you being called to digest?\nIn this weekly series\, explore various techniques and practices introduced by visiting artists who will lead us in expressing our relationship to food\, agriculture\, and the histories and stories that shape how we connect with our foodways.\nThrough various artmaking techniques like bookmaking\, printmaking\, collage\, sculpture\, natural-pigment making and painting\, alternative photography processes\, participants will create artwork that begins to answer the question: Where is the culture in agriculture?\nThis is a free drop-in program. Come to every class to build on your skill or come to one or two that you are available for. This class will end in a culminating Community Winter Show to exhibit your work in our greenhouse. Explore your relationship to food and agriculture and the ways these systems can connect us more deeply to our local ecosystems and communities.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine.\nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.\nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use\, and while we try to cook without peanuts\, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit\, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers.\nOur closest bathrooms are a building away\, about a one-minute walk. A gender neutral bathroom is also available\, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff. We are not a scent-free zone\, and because herbalism classes take place here\, cannot guarantee that the site will be clear of any essential oil smells. If you have needs not addressed here\, please reach out to Mallory Craig at mcraig@thehort.org.

SUMMARY:Urban Gardening 101: Gardening for Healing Track (Saturdays)
DESCRIPTION:In step with the growing season\, beginner gardeners are invited to gain hands-on learning experiences at the learning garden and greenhouse. In Spring unfurling\, we’ll cover fundamental principles and practices of growing plants for specific urban green spaces\, preparing soil\, designing a garden suitable for each gardener’s specific needs\, regenerative and climate-wise gardening\, starting seeds\, proper planting techniques\, and basic plant care. Gardeners in this course will contribute to collective beds in our learning garden as well as tend seedlings to take to their own urban green spaces. \nUrban Gardeners in this course can choose between two distinct tracks: Greening the In-Between and Gardening for Healing. Each of the tracks will cover the same core practices\, but with specific lenses based on gardener’s motivation for beginning their urban gardening journey. In Greening-the-In-Between (Mondays)\, urban gardeners will focus on how to grow food for small urban spaces while the Gardening for Healing track (Saturdays) invites gardeners to slow their pace and bring in therapeutic horticulture elements. \nPrerequisite(s): There are no prerequisites. This class is open to all levels\, designed specifically for individuals who are new to gardening or have some experience but who have lacked a consistent place to grow beyond foundations. \nRequired Texts and Resources: No texts are required. Optional supplemental readings will be given for each class. \nAttendance Policy: Due to limited spots in this class\, we ask that participants take an honest look at the schedule and reflect if this course will work with their existing commitments. Classes will build on each other\, and participants will benefit most if they are able to attend all of the sessions. If a participant is not able to attend\, we ask that they communicate via email to the instructor. Participants who miss class are encouraged to see what they missed from fellow classmates in the next class and to get class materials to review on their own time. \nRegistration: Each track is limited to 12 participants per session. We ask that you kindly register prior the start of the cohort. Urban Gardening 101 is most suited for adults\, and we kindly ask participants with children to consider one of our other weekly free family-friendly programs instead. \nWhen registering\, please use eventbrite link and select all 8 of the dates. To register for Monday track instead\, please visit this link.

SUMMARY:Art and AgriCulture
DESCRIPTION:What are the food stories that most urgently need to be shared?\n\n\n“Another thing we lost is culture. . . look at the word agriculture. We lost that connection. And so now it’s going back to the culture of agriculture. Why do we grow the food that we do?” – Karen Washington\nWhy do we grow the foods we do? How is culture tied to our local foodways and agricultural systems? What stories of nourishment are you hungry to tell? What creative acts are you being called to digest?\nIn this weekly series\, explore various techniques and practices introduced by visiting artists who will lead us in expressing our relationship to food\, agriculture\, and the histories and stories that shape how we connect with our foodways.\nThrough various artmaking techniques like bookmaking\, printmaking\, collage\, sculpture\, natural-pigment making and painting\, alternative photography processes\, participants will create artwork that begins to answer the question: Where is the culture in agriculture?\nThis is a free drop-in program. Come to every class to build on your skill or come to one or two that you are available for. This class will end in a culminating Community Winter Show to exhibit your work in our greenhouse. Explore your relationship to food and agriculture and the ways these systems can connect us more deeply to our local ecosystems and communities.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine.\nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.\nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible.

In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model\, community members and farmers build a reciprocal and mutually-beneficial relationship—community members support farmers by sharing the risk and paying upfront so that farmers can focus on stewarding the land while farmers provide community with healthy\, organic\, and sustainably grown produce at an affordable price that goes directly into the farm’s pockets.\nIn these weekly sessions\, we invite participants to gather and build community as we share recipes\, food stories\, and helpful tips for how to cook with the plants that are in season. Each week\, participants can expect to be guided by food-workers\, culture-bearers\, chefs\, farmers\, elders\, or food-system thought visionaries who will lead us in both cooking class and critical conversation that has us consider how we share the foods we grow in community.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Urban Gardening 101: Gardening for Healing Track (Saturdays)
DESCRIPTION:In step with the growing season\, beginner gardeners are invited to gain hands-on learning experiences at the learning garden and greenhouse. In Spring unfurling\, we’ll cover fundamental principles and practices of growing plants for specific urban green spaces\, preparing soil\, designing a garden suitable for each gardener’s specific needs\, regenerative and climate-wise gardening\, starting seeds\, proper planting techniques\, and basic plant care. Gardeners in this course will contribute to collective beds in our learning garden as well as tend seedlings to take to their own urban green spaces. \nUrban Gardeners in this course can choose between two distinct tracks: Greening the In-Between and Gardening for Healing. Each of the tracks will cover the same core practices\, but with specific lenses based on gardener’s motivation for beginning their urban gardening journey. In Greening-the-In-Between (Mondays)\, urban gardeners will focus on how to grow food for small urban spaces while the Gardening for Healing track (Saturdays) invites gardeners to slow their pace and bring in therapeutic horticulture elements. \nPrerequisite(s): There are no prerequisites. This class is open to all levels\, designed specifically for individuals who are new to gardening or have some experience but who have lacked a consistent place to grow beyond foundations. \nRequired Texts and Resources: No texts are required. Optional supplemental readings will be given for each class. \nAttendance Policy: Due to limited spots in this class\, we ask that participants take an honest look at the schedule and reflect if this course will work with their existing commitments. Classes will build on each other\, and participants will benefit most if they are able to attend all of the sessions. If a participant is not able to attend\, we ask that they communicate via email to the instructor. Participants who miss class are encouraged to see what they missed from fellow classmates in the next class and to get class materials to review on their own time. \nRegistration: Each track is limited to 12 participants per session. We ask that you kindly register prior the start of the cohort. Urban Gardening 101 is most suited for adults\, and we kindly ask participants with children to consider one of our other weekly free family-friendly programs instead. \nWhen registering\, please use eventbrite link and select all 8 of the dates. To register for Monday track instead\, please visit this link.

SUMMARY:Recipes and Rituals for Community Care
DESCRIPTION:We heal together in our kitchens\, gardens\, and shared spaces.\n\n\nWhat does it mean to heal in community? What does it feel like when we extend care to ourselves and the collective? How do plants and our local ecologies care for us? How can we care for the plants and local ecologies in return?\nWeave in rituals and recipes into both your own self-care and community care practices through weekly explorations in herbal arts\, somatic movement in the greenhouse and garden\, folk remedies\, and other wild-crafts and meditative activities that foster a deeper connection to plants to care for the body\, mental health\, and the people you move with.\nEach week\, be guided by a guest herbalist\, healing artist\, or wellness practitioner who will help you create your own toolkit and apothecary for self and communal care.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine.\nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.\nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use\, and while we try to cook without peanuts\, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit\, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers.\nOur closest bathrooms are a building away\, about a one-minute walk. A gender neutral bathroom is also available\, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff. We are not a scent-free zone\, and because herbalism classes take place here\, cannot guarantee that the site will be clear of any essential oil smells.

SUMMARY:Art in the Garden
DESCRIPTION:Cultivate creativity\, curiosity\, & settle into the restorative power of artmaking in the greenhouse and garden.\n\n\nCombine the art and science of observation in weekly artmaking inspired by plants in the greenhouse and garden.\nLearn meditative and mindful drawing\, printmaking and sculptural techniques\, scientific observation with plant portraiture\, and new practices from botanical and ecologically-focused contemporary artists to create works of art to celebrate the plants and flowers you feel most connected to. Immerse yourself in the learning garden\, greenhouse\, and across Riverbank State Park’s green roof overlooking the Hudson River to create artwork that is rooted in place and in partnership with plants.\nThis is a free drop-in program. Come to every class to build on your skill or come to one or two that you are available for. This class will end in a culminating Community Winter Show to exhibit your work in our greenhouse.\n\n\n  \n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine.\nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces.\nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible.
