Outdoor community-based workshop to learn to identify, harvest, and make a delicious 'well-ness' syrup with highbush cranberry (Viburum trilobum). Highbush cranberry is high in vitamin C and is a known anti-oxidant. It is also known as 'cramp bark'. Highbush cranberry syrup is an easy-to-make way to capture the many benefits of this native-to-Nova Scotia plant.

Here she has further honed her skills of artistically and mindfully engaging with the plant and animal worlds and inspiring communities to joyfully co-create with the land. Fireweed Earth Arts hosts ecological arts apprenticeships, artist-in-residencies, workshops, coaching/teaching, performances, and other events.
