Garden and Nature Journal Workshop

COOPERSTOWN — Even in the snow, our thoughts turn to our gardens and observations of the world around us. Let this be the year you begin a Garden or Nature Journal. On Sunday, April 6, 2025, from 1 - 2:30 p.m., Otsego Master Gardener Volunteers will sponsor a workshop with Gert Coleman at the Rowe House, 31 Maple Street in Oneonta.

Keeping a written record of your garden or nature can be a fun and fulfilling activity, helping to organize and monitor your progress in any growing season or setting. Learn how to record your observations, thoughts, activities, triumphs, and challenges in a journal. It can be as simple or as elaborate as you make it.

Gert Coleman is a writer, naturalist, gardener, and herbalist who teaches nature writing workshops in the wild places of New York State and beyond. She is an informative and engaging presenter.

No previous gardening experience is needed. Each participant will receive a journal to begin making observations. There is a $10 fee for the workshop which will include a journal, handouts, and refreshments. Space is limited; registration is required by Thursday, April 3, 2025, by going to www.cceschoharie-otsego.org. For more information call 607.547.2536 x228 or x235.
