  • Friday, June 18, 9:30 am – 12:00 noon – Summer Solstice Celebration

    Summer arrives with the summer solstice, which marks the longest day of the year and the day when the midday sun reaches its highest point in the sky. The summer solstice occurs this year on Sunday, June 20, but Wright-Locke Farm in Winchester will celebrate on the 18th with a nature walk through the farm and forest to enjoy the beauty of the natural world.  The walk will focus on plant identification, plus fun and interesting natural history about past and present human uses as well as tales and legends about the plants we see. We’ll also celebrate the season with a little poetry and solstice lore. 
    Cost: $30 per person. Register HERE.

  • Thursday, March 25, 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Decorative Bird’s Nest Workshop, Online

    Just in time for Spring, learn how to create a compostable, all foraged, decorative bird’s nest. You can then fill the nest with found objects such as abandoned Robin’s eggs and bird ephemera. This Wright-Locke Farm Zoom seminar will take place March 25 from 7 – 8.


    Ferriss provides kits to be picked up at the farm prior to the Zoom class. The kits contain all the materials necessary to learn how to weave your own nest just, like a bird would, with foraged sticks, straw, moss and little flowers. These nests are fun to make to show how foraging is enjoyable and all of the materials are compostable so they won’t end up in a landfill! Cost is $40 per person and includes kit with all necessary materials. Register at http://www.wlfarm.org/adult-education-programs/
