SUMMARY:Taking Time to See Watercolor Art Class
DESCRIPTION:Jane Marie Degeneffe describes her watercolor workshop in this way… Taking Time to See is a workshop that will give an awareness of the beauty around you in both nature and the world of thought and meditation. In this workshop\, you begin with choosing one of the flowers or branches provided to focus on and paint. This first watercolor painting done in class will be an illustration for your writing. Your writing will be separate from workshop time\, as the time in class will be painting. The blank watercolor pad and paints provided will be a take home starter for your journal. Quotes\, reflections\, poetry and goals or memories are always good topics for journaling. Taking time to see and be mindful of what goes on within your heart can be very restful and healing. The watercolor painting process is also restful and healing. Workshop runs from 1-3pm with an opening reception from 12-1pm before class starts. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Iowa Arboretum & Gardens Trial Program Public Evaluation Day
DESCRIPTION:YOU ARE INVITED! \nJoin the Iowa Arboretum & Gardens Trial Program for their second Public Evaluation Day! You and up to one adult guest and two children are invited to participate in evaluating perennials and shrubs in the trial garden. Walk the garden to check out soon to be available varieties and let us know your favorites! Evaluation generally takes around 25-30 minutes; you are then welcome to walk the grounds on the West Side of the arboretum for free. \nBackground: Due to a lack of regionally specific research\, demonstration\, and outreach surrounding newly introduced ornamental plants for Central Iowa\, the Iowa Arboretum & Gardens established an ornamental trial garden for the categories of herbaceous perennials and shrubs in the Spring of 2023. This public-facing trial garden provides beauty\, education\, and outreach to the people of Iowa in a form viewable to the public\, allowing for year-round visibility and observation of these plants. The Public Evaluation Day helps us in several ways. First\, we get to hear from you\, the consumer\, about what plants you want in your garden. Second\, we expose the Central Iowa public to the breadth of plants that are available to you while testing their long-term performance. Help us help you garden better! \nDetails: By participating in the Public Evaluation Day\, you and up to one adult guest and two children get free admission to the West Side of the Iowa Arboretum & Gardens. Entry into Treehouse Village and the East Side of the grounds will require admission or membership to the Iowa Arboretum & Gardens (see front desk upon visit). A short program will begin at 11am and again at 2pm. \n*Golf cart service is available for persons needing assistance \nPlease RSVP for you and your guest(s) by July 20th below: \nhttps://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A44A5AD28ABFEC25-55183929-trial \nLearn more about the program: \nhttps://iowaarboretum.org/ourplants/trialprogram/
