SUMMARY:Virtual Workshop: Coloring and Decentering Botanical Art with Tracy Qiu
DESCRIPTION:Join artist and researcher Tracy Qiu for an enchanting journey into the tangled roots of botanical art! Together\, we’ll unravel the complex tales of colonialism hidden in delicate petals and lush foliage\, and discover how the history of botanical art crossed social\, physical\, and cultural boundaries. \nIn this lively and eye-opening session\, Tracy will share creative techniques that celebrate the rich tapestry of how human cultures have seen and portrayed plants. Plus\, we’ll provide attendees with beautiful botanical art images to print and color during the discussion — so grab your crayons\, markers\, or colored pencils and let your creativity bloom! \nWhether you’re an artist\, a nature lover\, or simply curious\, this event promises a blossoming of new perspectives. ✨ \nAbout Tracy Qiu \nTracy is a researcher and artist of Chinese descent and settler-Canadian immigration. Her work asks questions about identity\, inclusion\, and a sense of belonging in public landscapes. She is especially interested in racial identity\, cultural diversity\, immigrant diaspora\, and decolonization in relation to Western public gardens. With her experience in navigating difficult conversations and uncomfortable topics\, she aims to help gardens reconcile their inherited colonial histories with their desire for a modern and inclusive organizational identity.

SUMMARY:Creating and Managing Landscapes for Native Bees with Heather Holm
DESCRIPTION:When creating and managing thriving habitats for native bees\, many factors such as seasonal phenology\, nesting strategies\, and flower preferences must be considered—and with approximately 3\,600 species in North America (north of Mexico)\, there are many unique aspects to keep in mind when managing successful landscapes for bees. \nJoin pollinator conservationist and author Heather Holm as she explores the nesting habitats\, life cycles\, pollen collection\, brood rearing\, and general characteristics of some of the most common native bees in eastern North America\, while highlighting the pollination of native plants and the mutualism between native plants and native bees. \nLearn about pollen specialists\, the presentation of floral resources\, and how the physical characteristics of bees can influence their effectiveness as pollinators. Heather will also discuss ways to manage landscapes to enhance bee diversity\, plant selection considerations\, and ultimately how to think like a bee! \n*Registration required to attend* \nLearn more about Heather Holm \nREGISTER
