Description
Learn to mount herbarium specimens with Marta McDowell, author of Emily Dickinson's Gardens. In this "make-and-take" activity inspired by the poet's herbarium, an extensive album of pressed flowers, you will create a decorative sheet of pressed flowers and a set of three flower-decorated cards for special correspondence. Bring your favorite flower-related Dickinson poems to include, if you like. Supplies will be provided, but if you have a special pen or other writing implement, please bring it as well. Pregistration required.
