Continue our nursery class series and delve into how the nurseries grow the thousands of plants for the parks restoration and stewardship sites. This class will be led by Alisa Shor (Director of Park Nurseries).
Create your own plaster casting of amazing botanicals through this fun, easy and rewarding process! The class will begin with a walking tour of the gardens to learn about Alcatraz’s garden history and the work to restore the historic gardens.
This day-long course is co-hosted/sponsored by the Conservancy's Alcatraz Gardens program and will begin with a tour of the historic gardens with manager Shelagh Fritz to gain inspiration for you to create your own mosaic. With ideas in mind, local artist Kristi Halva will walk through the steps of creating a beautiful piece of art of your own. Participants will also see the Alcatraz Florilegium on display, a collection of botanical illustrations depicting the plants of Alcatraz.
