Farmstead in Winter

Winter Solstice Walk

Join naturalist Roland “Boot” Boutwell in celebrating The Winter Solstice.  After enjoying solstice poetry, science, and lore we’ll go for a walk around The Farm and into the woods to celebrate the solstice season, learn about plants in their winter form, and enjoy the beauty of nature as winter approaches.

Seasonal Wreath Making 

Fun opportunities to create your own decorative wreath from natural, compostable materials! We will use twine, vines, ribbons, paper, sticks, dried flowers, ribbons, and berries. Wreaths are completely compostable if you remove the ribbon.
