Long before we designed gardens for landscape aesthetics, we cultivated plants for their medicinal value. From roots that relax and seeds that soothe to leaves for improved memory, this presentation seeks to inspire personalized home healing gardens. We’ll discuss a potpourri of easy to grow medicinal herbs while showcasing garden designs that range from micro to magnificent. You’ll be growing your own first aid kit before you know it and empowering the flora within.
Willa Coroka (C as in “cinnamon”) is a nature gal, her heart at its fullest while flitting through the New England forests amidst the hemlocks, birches and pines. Willa graduated with her MS in Environmental Studies in 2015 after several years of seasonal jobs that took her from the rocky shores of Chile to the mountains of Spain and myriad locations in between. Her deep commitment for preserving wild spaces and knack for evoking excitement in people’s perception of the natural world led her to create The Magpie’s Apprentice, a learning platform offering eco-centered lectures, presentations, and workshops. Willa’s spare time is spent propagating plants, traveling, reading, and spying on birds.This is event is open to all, but registration is required.&nbsp; Please visit the link or call (603) 472-2300 to sign up.

New Hampshire often gets overlooked in the narrative of the American Revolution, overshadowed by its noisy neighbor to the south. Nowadays, few people know about Paul Revere’s first ride, which was to Portsmouth in December 1774 to warn the patriots that the British were coming to reinforce Fort William and Mary, five months before the Redcoats marched on Concord and Lexington. Nor do they know that two-thirds of the troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill were from New Hampshire. Most people are also unaware that New Hampshire’s Provincial Congress adopted the first state constitution in January 1776, making no mention of royal authority and essentially declaring independence from Great Britain six months before anyone else. And this is just the beginning of New Hampshire’s revolutionary story.
Born and raised in New Hampshire, Mary has always loved surrounding herself with history. Her passion for storytelling led her to become a tour guide at various locations, including San Francisco, Boston, and her favorite, Glacier National Park. Her work as an interpreter for the National Park Service further honed her skills. Currently, Mary serves as Operations Manager for The Pursuit of History Weekends, where she coordinates specially curated, one-of-a-kind experiences aimed at inspiring broader public engagement with history. She is also on staff at the New Hampshire Historical Society, where she has played a pivotal role in presenting the Granite State Stories programs for HTG in 2023 and 2024. Mary narrates many of the Society’s video productions, including virtual field trips for children, and delivers workshops for adult audiences on organizing cemetery tours and scavenger hunts. Additionally, she trains the Society’s museum educators, ensuring high-quality learning experiences for visitors of all ages.&nbsp; This program is made possible by support from New Hampshire Humanities.This event is open to all, but registration is required.&nbsp; Please visit the link or call (603) 472-2300 to sign up.
