Philosophy & Practice of Plant Care w/ Marina Olshansky of Vesca Botanicals

Please note: This event will be held in our upstairs Lecture Room. Due to the age of our building, this space is unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.

Join us as PRS welcomes Marina Olshansky, Vesca Botanicals' purveyor of gorgeous house plants, for an afternoon workshop exploring plant wisdom, the self care practice of plant care, eco-spirituality, and practical household greenthumbery skills – and leave with a new lovely, leafy friend!

Coinciding with the autumn equinox, this workshop delves into the profound philosophies that plants embody and how we, as humans, can nurture them in return to create a symbiotic relationship with the natural world. We will explore the wisdom of plants—how they thrive, adapt, and communicate—and apply these lessons to our own lives.

We will dive deep into the practical skills - light, water & soil - to care for plants in a way that fosters an understanding of both the resilience and delicate nature of life. Ideal for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with nature, seeking personal growth, and exploring eco-spiritual practices.

At this very special event, a diverse selection of beautiful houseplants from Vesca Botanicals will be available for purchase at a 20% discount so that you can bring home a new green family member to care for!
