Photo courtesy Dunn Gardens
Stumpery Workshop 
at Dunn Gardens
Thursday, November 10th @ 1-3pm

Learn how to create a nurse log planting that can be a charming beginning to your own stumpery. In this workshop, participants will create their own nurse log, using plants that naturally grow in woody debris in Pacific Northwest forests and woodlands. 

Logs, stumps, and other partially broken down woody debris provide a natural growing environment for many of our PNW native plants.
 
Taught by our Dunn Gardens staff horticulturists, the workshop will begin with a short walk through the woodland gardens to look for some real world examples and inspiration. 

Participants will then convene in the classroom for a planting demonstration, and afterwards create their own nurse logs choosing from a selection of plants that grow well in these conditions. 

Everyone will get to take their creations home to be displayed in their own garden!

Pricing: Members: $85 | Not-Yet-Members: $100

Sky Nursery class: Carnivorous plants are the secret weapon of indoor gardening

Friday, October 7, 2022

Carnivorous plants are the secret weapon of indoor gardening.

Wanna know how to care for these unique little monsters? 

Join Sky's very own Charles Young for a free in-person class October 22, 2022 from 12-1pm. 

Accompanied by a huge selection of 'carnies,' he'll be taking you through how to help them thrive, whether they're tucked into a bog terrarium or not.

Expect a little bit of Halloween silliness, a lot of information, and a chance to ask all your questions. 

If you plan to attend, there is no limit on space, but we thank you for taking the time to RSVP here: https://fb.me/e/rGrbc0Pfl

Prayer Lab - Celtic Spirituality workshop October 5 at Saint Dunstan's

Saturday, October 1, 2022

Since 2010 Saint Dunstan’s has had the blessing of learning from Brother John Ryan.

He joined a Franciscan order as a young man and left the order to become a chaplain.

Saint Dunstan's will be doing a Prayer Lab lesson on October 5, 2022 which Brother Ryan will be leading, about Thin Places, or spots that we feel we have been touched by the Presence of the Sacred.

He has explained what it’s about as follows:

People experience a Thin Place in many different ways as expressed in many different traditions and cultures. 
The Irish Celtic Tradition was established long before Christianity was brought to the Isle. 
There are still sacred mounds, hills, wells, walls, trees and places at which people have touched the sacred. 
You and I can and have experienced such places and events in which we have been touched by and touched the Presence of the Sacred. 
It is said the place between our world and that beyond is experienced through this place of the thin veil. We will look at examples of these experiences both ancient and present and have the opportunity to express our own experiences. 
For a time we will have the opportunity to be for each other “anam cara” or soul friends, for we all live in the shadow of each other. 
--Br. John Ryan, OSF

We invite you to join us to learn from him. You can RSVP on Eventbrite. Prayer Lab-Celtic Spirituality- Experiencing the Thin Place Tickets, Wed, Oct 5, 2022 at 6:45 PM | Eventbrite
