Thursday, July 25, 10:00 am – 12:00 noon – What to Propagate and How to Do It

by

While many plants are difficult to propagate, others are extremely easy. Sow 100 seeds of spotted wintergreen and a single seedling may emerge; sow 100 seeds of spotted bee balm (below) and somehow up pop 150 seedlings! On July 25 at 10 am at Garden in the Woods in Framingham, join Dan Jaffe to learn not only how to propagate, but what to propagate to maximize your plantings.

Friday, July 26 – Sunday, October 13 – Between the Leaves: The Unique Prints of Sarah Cross

by

The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University will be the site of an exhibit running July 26 – October 13, entitled Between the Leaves: The Unique Prints of Sarah Cross. There will be a free opening reception on Saturday, July 27 from 1 – 3, and a cyanotype workshop on Sunday, July 28 from 10 – noon (registration required.)

Between the Leaves focuses on the ephemeral quality of light.  Behind each photograph is Sarah Cross’s hand in the physical construction of what is set up in front of the camera, or through a cathartic printing process. The artist works with a range of photographic media, including 4″ x 5″ color negatives, and gum bichromate printing to create photographs. After a strong degree of photoshop manipulation, the prints are made through the historic gum bichromate process. With this lengthy process, each color is printed as a single layer, resulting in fragile, painterly, and unique prints. Although large in physical presence, these prints are meant to express small invitations to reverie.
