Tending Ecologies - Nourishment: Composting and Soil Health

In this workshop, ecological artist Paige Emery returns to Arlington Garden as part of a special partnership program session at Arlington Garden with Pasadena based non profit arts organization Fulcrum Arts. Paige will guide participants through an exploration of nourishment practices for the body and the land. Composting will be its focus, and topics to be covered include compost production, maintenance, and use. Participants will also create compost together while learning about its beneficial properties, such as its ability to add nutrients to depleted soil. Additionally, Paige will lead a thematically-linked tea ceremony, during which she will speak about herbs that can support remineralization and strengthen respiratory and immune systems. This hands-on event will take place entirely outdoors at Arlington Garden. We ask participants to please bring water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. Gardening clothes are also recommended. If you wish to take notes, consider bringing a notebook and pen. Tending Ecologies is workshop program presented by Paige Emery and Fulcrum Arts, with offsite sessions hosted in collaboration with local Pasadena based organizations. It about caring for the land around us and the landscape of our bodies. Each session engages with ideas of release, nourishment, attention, and renewal in resonance with Earthly cycles and practices of bioremediation, bioregional herbalism, ethnobotany, ecological art and sound, and healing arts.
