CANVAS [Report] Saturday, October 22: “Let’s Embrace ‘Gifts from the Garden’—Let’s Look at Plants Through the Eyes of the Heart” From a CANVAS Facebook post
*******************************************
On Saturday, October 22, we held an event titled “Let’s Embrace ‘Gifts from the Garden’—Let’s Look at Plants Through the Eyes of the Heart.”
The seeds we all planted in May have turned into cotton!
Look for the ones with cotton coming out of the seeds, and carefully cut them out.
We enjoyed the freshly made cotton by touching it and examining it.
Maybe there was a sense of joy that came from having watched them grow?
After harvesting the cotton, go to the garden and choose two plants you’d like to wrap around yourself.
It's a garden surrounded by lots of plants, and there are so many that catch my eye.
If you look closely at the ground, you might find some unexpected treasures lying there…?
After returning to the room, I decorated my hat and some fabric (will it become a skirt? A cape? Or maybe…?) with plants.
We carefully attached the flowers we’d cut from our own home, the leaves and petals we’d gathered from our garden, and the many plants provided to us, using them to adorn each plant.
The next GREENWORKSHOP will be held on November 26.
"~Fallen Leaves Are a Treasure~ Let's Collect Fallen Leaves and Make Compost." Stay tuned!
