Foraging Olmsted

Artward Bound students are creating a field guide to the Fens that features illustrations and text that educates visitors about the natural and cultural resources that exist there. Special attention is on plants that serve some sort of human purpose. Works in progress for the field guide will be on display in the Garden Lab in the Brant Gallery on the 3rd floor of South Hall. On April 27th, youth will co-lead a workshop that further connects people with the natural resources of the Fens. The workshop will engage participants in hands-on activities that may include an urban foraging excursion, cooking demonstrations, food tastings, and extracting pigments from nature.
