SUMMARY:Finding Connection Through Awe
DESCRIPTION:Exposing ourselves to big or small awe-inspiring experiences\, especially those in nature\, taps into our feelings and emotions and reminds us we are a part of something bigger. In a world where many people feel lonely and disconnected\, our relationship with nature–our life source–is the foundation to our sense of belonging and purpose. Finding awe deepens our connection with the natural world\, ourselves\, and others. In this workshop\, we will examine our own story with nature\, stretching back to our earliest memories of the natural world. We will share our moments of awe\, unearth our feelings around nature through photos\, explore our ecological self through a series of reflective questions\, and find awe in the Garden by observing through different perspectives. Sharing and discussion will be encouraged! \nAll programs are subject to change. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

SUMMARY:Exploring Our Ecological Self
DESCRIPTION:The reciprocal relationship between nature and people has significant\, research-supported positive implications on physical\, social and emotional health and wellness\, and on human communities and culture. But most of us never pause from our busy lives to closely examine our place in the natural world\, or our relationship with it. Using the Incanto sculpture\, Ancestors\, as inspiration\, we’ll delve deeper into our relationships with our ancestors and the role they play in cultivating our relationship with nature. We’ll explore the development of our “ecological self\,” or a self that transcends individualism to recognize the healing that we can achieve for ourselves\, our community\, and our natural world when we live in harmony with all living beings. Instructor Sarah Croscutt will guide you in a visit to the Ancestors sculpture in Flagler Garden as part of this class. You’ll walk away feeling a renewed sense of connection to your ancestors\, the natural world\, and yourself. \nWe believe that all adults in our community should have access to plant-based\, nature-focused learning opportunities. We offer several pricing tiers so you can register at the amount you’re able to pay. Thank you for your contribution. \n• Sustainer: $30 \n• Supporter: $20 \n• Contributor: $10 \n• Attendee: $0 \nAll programs are subject to change. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.

SUMMARY:Glen Stream Restoration Follow Up Tour
DESCRIPTION:Have you heard of the Glen Stream at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden and do you know where it’s hidden on the Garden campus? A few years ago\, this stream had been overrun by invasive plants and subject to pollution runoff which contributed to erosion and poor water quality. If you live in an urban environment\, you may be familiar with this type of situation in your own neighborhood. The Glen Stream Restoration project is a landscape solution to slow the water\, mitigate the stormwater runoff and allow the water to be absorbed in a way that benefits the soil and encourages plant\, insect and animal diversity to return. With completion of the restoration done 1 1/2 years ago\, come join Garden Guide\, Lorrie Lincoln to see how things are progressing. Please note we will be walking on uneven surfaces. Meet in the atrium of the Robins Visitors Center. \nAll programs are subject to change. \nLewis Ginter Botanical Garden strives to be a Garden for all and we are committed to offering diverse adult learning opportunities that are inclusive and accessible to all learners.
