ON SCREEN - MET OPERA: CARMEN | |
|
Orcas Center
Tuesday, May 14 at 12pm
Runtime: 3 hours 30 minutes with intermission
Bizet’s masterpiece of the gypsy seductress who lives by her own rules has had an impact far beyond the opera house. The opera’s melodic sweep is as irresistible as the title character herself, a force of nature who has become a defining female cultural figure. Carmen was a scandal at its premiere but soon after became a triumphal success and has remained one of the most frequently staged operas in the world.

THE ORCAS ISLAND GARDEN CLUB PRESENTS
EDIBLE PLANTS IN BEAUTIFUL GARDENS
BY ALLISON O'SULLIVAN, HORTICULTURIST
| |
|
Orcas Center
Wednesday, May 15 at 10am (Zoom available)
Free and open to public
From groundcover to a living wall, edible plants can be incorporated into any garden or landscape. Sometimes, they are growing unbeknownst to the gardener! Many edible plants fulfill multiple useful functions, yet are often reserved for the vegetable or herb garden. Come out and explore the differences and similarities between (ideas of) gardens and landscapes, as well as delve into which roles edible plants can play in many settings.
Allison will provide a plant list of perennial and annual plants that can be both enjoyed and utilized on many levels…for their aesthetics in the landscape, their nutrition as food or drink, purpose of craft, or what-have-you! She encourages all gardeners, landscapers, horticulturists, gnomes, and the like to grow plants that are multifunctional and satisfy hunger.
For the last 20 years, Allison has been professionally working on connecting people to steward and interact with land in a mutually beneficial, ecologically healthy way. Her studies in Anthropological Sciences at Stanford University introduced her to the terraced subsistence agriscape of the Peruvian Andes. As an anthropologist, an ISA Certified Arborist, ISA Qualified Tree Risk Assessor, Horticulturist, and a self-proclaimed hungry gardener, she is highly intrigued about how people interact with their environment, and how we can shape it to be both aesthetically beautiful and functional from the ground level to the canopy.
For a link to the live zoom presentation go to the Orcas Island Garden Club website and click the link below the list of presentations.
