For those feeling adventurous, Portland artist Lizzy Quinn will be offering botanical flash tattoos inspired by the natural world.

In the spirit of community, guests are invited to bring a small branch, twig, or stem from a favorite plant species, approximately 12 inches long. These pieces will be woven together into a large community wreath that reflects the diversity of plants and people that shape our landscape. The finished wreath will be displayed on the nursery wall as a living symbol of the garden we are growing together.

The Art of Bonsai

Hosted by Berry Creek Garden in their courtyard space:

Join local bonsai expert Dennis Quenneville at Berry Creek Garden for an introductory presentation on the art, design, and fundamentals.

Berry Creek Garden welcomes local expert Dennis Quenneville for a special presentation on Japanese Bonsai Basics, exploring the art of creating living trees in miniature. This introductory program will cover the foundations of bonsai, including what defines a bonsai, the natural inspirations behind the practice, and the core design principles that shape these remarkable trees.

Participants will learn about classic bonsai styles, how natural forces such as wind, weather, and time influence the form of trees, and how artists recreate those patterns through pruning, shaping, and careful design.
