About the Event
The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, a moment when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, and light is at its fullest. This day is honored across cultures as a turning point in the seasonal cycle: a celebration of abundance, vitality, and the peak of life’s outward expression. It is a threshold between growth and reflection, a sacred pause to acknowledge how deeply we are connected to the rhythms of the earth.
Throughout the day, the garden and greenhouses will become a living classroom, offering a curated schedule of classes, workshops, and rituals, including solar morning yoga, sound baths, herbalism, mycology and plant wisdom, flower crown making, and creative workshops. Between sessions, guests are welcome to wander the gardens, connect with local vendors and artisans, or receive intuitive readings.
Class Schedule:
9 am Sun Salutation Yoga Class - Vinyasa style yoga class with emphasis on sun salutations to welcome the solstice, including hands-on adjustments and a savasana head massage. This class will be held outdoors in our nursery space.
11 am Summer Foraging Class - Orion Aon from Forage Colorado will be teaching a foraging class where we will walk around the nursery and the surrounding area to identify and discuss edible plants. This workshop style will lean more toward weedy plants and urban trees.
1 pm Annual Container making with Ria Erikson - This will be a hands-on annual container making workshop. All plants, soil, and supplies are included in the price of this class. Participants will go home with a completed 15" annual pot. Ria has years of experience in custom annual container making, floral arrangements, and design. Choose between a Shade Annual container or a Sun Annual container to create!
Tickets $50
2:30 pm Herb Bundle Making Class with Mikki Rawe - A hands-on experience where participants will create their own herbal bundles. Each participant will leave with a handmade herbal bundle, attuned to solstice energies and plants, which can be used for various purposes, including space clearing.
5:00 pm Guided Meditation Solstice Evening Sound Bath with Stephanie Hamill - Step into a tranquil oasis for a unique 60-minute Greenhouse Meditation Sound Bath, perfectly aligned with the vibrant energy of the summer solstice. Imagine yourself immersed in the lush beauty and fragrant embrace of blooming flowers and verdant plants as you embark on a deeply relaxing journey.
