Lauritzen Gardens

We experience wonder spontaneously in the presence of grandeur or mystery—think of a total solar eclipse or a starling murmuration. But wonder can also be intentionally cultivated. In this workshop we’ll explore how to grow astonishment by listening to, and even conversing with, the many non-human voices in a garden. Led by author Colleen Morton Busch.
 Students will receive a signed copy of Smolder during the workshop. Pre-registration required.
 Cost: $35 | Garden members receive 20% off.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/150445/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info
