Day 1 — Saturday May 23, 10:00 - 4:00pm

We begin with a free-standing, site-responsive installation, approaching the hedge as a landscape with emphasis on density and mass. This is an active, physical day of making—working with large branches and foraged materials to build a vast collective form.

Participants will be guided through the materials we’ve gathered, with attention to their seasonal qualities, ecological roles, and the particularities of working with invasive species. Through hands-on construction, we’ll execute techniques and mechanics for building structure, stability, and flow within large-scale compositions.

Lunch and refreshments will be served midday. All tools will be provided.

Participants will take home their very own professional-grade floral secateurs and an armful of flowers, branches and blossoms.

We invite participants to register for a single day or attend both sessions at a reduced rate.
