Description

Join Willa Coroka, owner of The Magpie’s Apprentice in Chester, NH, as she shares her joy of herbs and ecology, gardening and sustainable practices while addressing common gardening myths such as space and time restraints. Participants learn the basics of botany as well as various garden designs including terraced, vertical, and hydroponic gardens as well as miniature water, up-cycled container, counter-top, and no-yard gardens. What started out as a Masters Project in 2015 and cozy living room classroom space has now bloomed into a classroom in Willa Coroka’s Sweet Birch Homestead. An Environmental Educator by trade, she shares her love of incorporating herbs and nature into daily living through various classes including: introductory herbalism, permaculture concepts, growing in a raised-bed garden, beginner ornithology, ecology basics, and DIY home improvement.

Strawbery Banke Museum
Strawbery Banke Museum, in the heart of historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is an authentic 10-acre outdoor history museum dedicated to bringing 300+ years of American history in the same waterfront neighborhood to life. The Museum is a place for children, adults, multigenerational families, and groups to gather to explore eight heritage gardens, 32 historic buildings, and traditional crafts, preservation programs, hands-on activities, the stories told by costumed role-players and the changing exhibits that offer hours of fun and discovery. The Museum's restored buildings and open space invite visitors to immerse themselves in the past, using objects from the museum's collection of 30,000 artifacts, and the histories of the families who lived and worked in the Puddle Dock neighborhood to engage, educate, and entertain.
