Guided Garden Tour at the Pratt Museum Botanical Garden DESCRIPTION:BOTANICAL GARDEN\, HOMESTEAD GARDEN\, AND FOREST TRAIL TOURS \nFREE // May 30 – August 30 // Thursdays and Saturdays \, 11am – Noon \nJoin the Pratt Museum Garden Crew for guided tours of the Botanical Gardens\, Homestead Garden\, and Forest Trails. \nWe will offer an interpretive introduction to the broader ecology of the Kachemak Bay region and describe the ways that we incorporate the plant communities of the region into the Botanical Garden at the Museum. Botany experts and novices alike can find delightful insights as we explore the interactions and dynamics of our local ecosystem. \nThe Homestead Garden is an ever-evolving exhibit featuring many classic fruits and vegetables and a few specific local varieties that have been treasured by the local community for generations. We will explore some of the basics of plant propagation\, discuss the benefits of perennial food crops and talk about food preservation and storage. Snacking is encouraged! Throughout the season\, something is always worth sampling from the garden\, though the real delight is black currant season in late autumn. \nThe Forest Trails showcase the ecological context in which the Museum is embedded. These trails wind through one of the larger remaining wild spaces in downtown Homer\, and have some of the largest remaining trees in the area. Wildlife is abundant and the plant communities are diverse. There are several loops of varying distance that wind through the nearly 10 acre forest. A meander through these woods with one of our guides will offer an opportunity for wildlife sightings\, listening to songbirds\, and discussing the ethnobotanical and historical uses of plants that live in our region.

Boreal Echoes is the result of three years of learning\, conversation\, and experimentation by a cohort of artists who were inspired and informed by the boreal forest\, the scientists who study it\, and each other. Artists built relationships to the boreal biome and one another through outdoor field trips\, scientific presentations\, artist craft talks\, and monthly group activities. The cohort then created original artworks sharing their collaborative and individual investigations\, inspirations\, and care about the boreal biome. Boreal Echoes is directed by Mary Beth Leigh and includes artwork by Susan Campbell\, Alyssa Enriquez\, Nancy Hausle-Johnson\, Mary Bee Kaufman\, Margo Klass\, Jennifer Moss\, Ree Nancarrow\, Oralee Nudson\, Teresa Shannon\, Todd Sherman\, Marianne Stolz\, Connie Stricks\, and Sara Tabbert. \nThe “Boreal Echoes” exhibition was produced by the “In a Time of Change” program with support from the National Science Foundation through the Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research Program\, the USDA Forest Service\, the University of Alaska Fairbanks\, and the Rasmuson Foundation through the Harper Arts Touring Fund administered by the Alaska State Council on the Arts State Council on the Arts\, with in-kind support from IGCA and other partners. \nTo learn more about the history of “In a Time of Change” program and the Boreal Echoes exhibit click here. \nFounded in 2007 by the Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) in Fairbanks\, Alaska\, the In a Time of Change (ITOC) program facilitates and produces collaborative arts-humanities-science exhibits and events focused on ecological themes important to Alaska. ITOC recognizes that cross-disciplinary interactions between artists\, humanities scholars\, and scientists can foster community engagement with the natural world and build collaborative capacity\, helping society to address complex environmental problems. ITOC emerged within the Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research program in Interior Alaska and is funded by the National Science Foundation\, the USDA Forest Service\, and private contributors\, with in-kind support from the University of Alaska Fairbanks\, Fairbanks Arts Association\, and other partners. UAF professor Mary Beth Leigh directs ITOC in collaboration with ITOC researcher and evaluator Lissy Goralnik (Michigan State University). ITOC is part of a growing network of place-based\, environmental arts-humanities-science programs across the U.S. and around the world.
