SUMMARY:Fungi and Plants: An Essential Romance
DESCRIPTION:Fungi and plants are ideal life partners\, there is evidence that they may have even facilitated each other’s move onto land over a billion years ago. Fungi take in oxygen\, releasing carbon dioxide\, while breaking down rock and organic matter to release nutrients essential for plants to grow. Plants recycle the carbon dioxide\, releasing oxygen\, while photosynthesizing to produce carbon sugars which they share with fungi so that both plants and fungi can flourish. There are a multitude of interesting relationships\, each of which is unique. Join us with educator Luke Sarrantonio as we peel back the curtain and take a peek at these amazing organisms and the fascinating connections they rely on to survive and thrive. Also\, learn about ways we can facilitate these relationships to influence the health of the ecosystems that we live in and gardens that we tend to. \nLuke Sarrantonio (website – instagram) grew up in a small rural town in the upper Hudson Valley/Catskill Region (about 2 hours north of NYC) and spent much of his childhood exploring the fascinating interwoven ecosystems that make up this unique natural landscape. In college at SUNY ESF he was blessed to work under some truly inspiring minds in the world of Life Sciences and Mycology (study of fungi). Following his passion through travels in the Pacific Northwest and work on a shiitake farm in the finger lakes region of New York\, he eventually landed back in the Hudson Valley. Currently he is working to develop education programming and mushroom based products under the name Mycophilic: for the love of Fungi. \nThis will be a Zoom meeting. Free registration required.

SUMMARY:Biology/Art: Local Flowers/Intro to Botanical Illustration
DESCRIPTION:Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park volunteers have planted several garden beds and continue to expand the beds to include more of the park. Crocuses were added last year as part of the city’s plant it purple initiative. Join us on Zoom to see and discuss some of the flowering plants soon to be seen in the gardens while demonstrating the basics of Botanical Illustration. \nMonica Schroeder\, a professional scientific Illustrator\, will lead us through plant anatomy and warm up drawing exercises and then dive into a simple botanical illustration. (A Crocus Template will be provided for those who wish to trace.) \nThe class will switch between slides and live instruction using pencils and watercolor. \nUse any medium you prefer that allows for detailed work – even just a plain pencil and copy paper. (Most drug stores sell colored pencils and watercolor kits for less then $10\, a great way to get started!) \nThe demo will be done using drawing pencils\, colored pencils\, watercolor pencils\, gouache\, and watercolor. \nAll skill levels welcome. \nSUGGESTED ART SUPPLIES: \n\n2H and a 2B pencil (any hard or soft pencils)\nWhite eraser & a kneaded eraser\nSketch pad or paper\nScrap paper\nPaper for your chosen medium such as watercolor paper or colored pencil paper\nWatercolors** colored pencils\, or gouache\nWatercolor round brushes: size 3/0\, size 1 & size 4\n\n**Most drug stores carry watercolor sets for less than $10\, although student or artist-grade have more brilliant colors. \nTo download a traceable or printable template and view inspirational images\, please visit Monica’s website and choose the crocus options. \nFree registration & Zoom link access below.
