In Person: Supporting the Wild Workshop: Maine College of Art & Design Liveable Worlds Symposium

Supporting the Wild: Wild Seed Saving Initiative

Join Nell Houde of the Wild Seed Project to learn about the diverse plants growing in Maine and their unique seed sowing processes. In this workshop, Wild Seed Project will facilitate a hands-on exploration of the many steps of growing native plants from seed, and steps for establishing diverse landscapes using seed-grown plants. This class will begin with an exploration of the unique sizes, shapes, and strategies of some of our local seeds, and then transition to focus on winter seed sowing. We will talk through the best practices for keeping your seeds outside for the winter, and each participant will sow a pot of seeds to take home with them.

This workshop is part of the Liveable Worlds Symposium, a parallel program to the Livable Worlds exhibition at the Maine College of Art & Design. The exhibition will feature works combining organic materials such as soil, water, and plants with found materials and technological tools to create sculpture, painting, film, photography, installation, community projects, and performance.  The symposium is hosted by the Institute of Contemporary Art.
