SUMMARY:Nature Journaling
DESCRIPTION:Join artist and Master Gardener Volunteer\, Deena Ball\, for a creative\, hands-on workshop exploring the art of nature journaling. Nature journaling is a practice of slowing down and observing the natural world more closely through writing\, drawing\, and other creative techniques. The goal isn’t perfection\, it’s to notice something you might otherwise have missed. \nIn this workshop\, you’ll be gently guided through drawing plants at the UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm\, composing an attractive and informative journal page\, and working with watercolors and colored pencils. You’ll learn how to combine simple materials and shapes you already know to capture what you see\, create pages that trigger memories\, and develop your own creative approach to nature journaling. \nParticipants will leave with practical techniques for creating a nature journal while cultivating creativity\, observation skills\, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. This workshop will take place at the UMaine Gardens at Tidewater Farm\, 200 Presumpscot Point Rd\, Falmouth\, ME 04105. Registration is required\, and the program fee is $15 per person. \nRegister for Nature Journaling \nParticipants are encouraged to bring: A hardcover journal with mixed media paper\, drawing implements (pencils\, colored pencils\, water colors\, etc)\, and camp chair. \nFor more information or to request a reasonable accommodation\, contact Pamela Hargest at pamela.hargest@maine.edu or 207.949.4524.

SUMMARY:Managing Soil Compaction on Small Farms
DESCRIPTION:Struggling with compacted soils? Interested in hand-scale approaches to improve soil health? Join us as we visit the UMaine Extension Demonstration Site at Hurricane Valley Farm to see strategies in action like deep-rooted cover crops\, deep compost mulch\, and permanent raised beds. We will tour the demonstration space\, discuss tools and techniques\, and share what we have learned in the first year of this project. \nThis workshop is part of the Maine Urban Soil Health Project\, a UMaine Extension project to improve soil health education for Maine’s urban and small-scale agriculture community. The Hurricane Valley Farm demonstration site is managed in partnership with Cultivating Community\, a Portland-based non-profit dedicated to farmland access and food justice. \nThis free event is open to the public and refreshments will be provided. Interpretation services are available upon request. For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation\, email carrick.gambell@maine.edu. \nRegister for Managing Soil Compaction on Small Farms
