Join us for Painting with Pokeweed and celebrate native plants through a hands-on, ethnobotanical, foraging, and artistic experience. After a hayride through Mt. Cuba Center’s natural lands, learn about the relationships Indigenous communities have with Chàkinkwèm (Lenape for Pokeweed), mindfully forage for Chàkinkwèm, make ink from Chàkinkwèm berries, and create watercolor paintings with your homemade pèkòn (Lenape for red dye). Painting with Pokeweed is a partnership between Mt. Cuba Center and Native Roots Farm Foundation. Children must be 8 or older to participate. Closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get messy are recommended. Included with garden admission, advance registration required.

This program takes place in person in Mt. Cuba Center natural lands Saturday, September 21, 2024 (Rain Date: Sunday, September 22, 10 AM-12 PM).
