SUMMARY:Garden University: Forest Friends Adventure & Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next installment of our Jr. Gardener’s Club fall programming! \n  \nChildren will explore the wonders of the forest through yoga before painting a whimsical woodland friend—such as an owl\, fox\, squirrel or hedgehog. They’ll finish by adding natural textures and autumn-inspired details to their artwork. \n  \nThe purchase of a ticket includes Garden Admission for one child and one caregiver so you and your little one can wander the Oregon Garden\, looking for frogs in our A-Mazing Water Garden or listen to the busy bees in our Apiary after the workshop is done! \nLocation: NREC \nTime: 10:00-12:00pm \nAge range: 3-12 \n**Siblings receive a discount!** \n  \nPurchase tickets HERE. \n— \nAbout the Instructors \nHi\, I’m Tricia Lewis\, founder of Mat & Chat Yoga. I’m a certified RYT 200 Yoga Instructor\, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Facilitator\, and Kids Yoga Instructor through Yoga Playgrounds. \nI believe movement\, mindfulness\, and creativity are powerful ways to help us feel more connected — to ourselves\, to one another\, and to the world around us. \nThrough Mat & Chat Yoga\, I create welcoming spaces for children\, families\, and adults to pause\, breathe\, move\, and connect. My Mat & Chat Kids classes blend mindful movement\, breathwork\, storytelling\, and games to support confidence\, curiosity\, and emotional awareness. \nMy goal is to help people of all ages discover joy\, creativity\, and a deeper sense of trust and connection within themselves. \nI’m excited to partner with Desiree and Root & Bloom at the beautiful Oregon Garden to offer this Movement + Nature-Inspired Art experience — inviting children and families to explore\, create\, and connect with the natural world through mindful movement and creativity. \n  \nHi\, I’m Desiree\, founder of Root & Bloom. \nLife gets busy. We spend so much time taking care of responsibilities\, checking off to-do lists and moving from one thing to the next that it’s easy to forget to make time for ourselves. I wanted to create a reason to slow down. \nRoot & Bloom’s Creative Wellness Workshops bring people together to paint\, create\, garden\, explore nature and enjoy hands-on experiences that spark creativity\, conversation and connection. Every workshop is a little different\, but the goal is always the same: to spend a couple of hours making something\, meeting new people and leaving a little more refreshed than when you arrived. \nBeyond workshops\, I also work one-on-one with clients through gardening\, home organization and practical wellness support ~ helping people create spaces\, routines and everyday habits that feel healthier\, more manageable and more enjoyable. \nI hope you’ll join me at an upcoming workshop. I’d love to create something with you. \n

SUMMARY:Garden University: Irrigation Control Systems Professional Development
DESCRIPTION:Considering Updating or Installing Central Irrigation Control? \nIn a position of approving funding? Especially for something for the most part\, unseen\, but the purpose of which is highly regarded aesthetically? \n“The Grass is Green where you Water It.” Simple right? But spending tens of thousands\, upwards of hundreds of thousands\, on Irrigation Control Systems should not go forward without understanding! \nWhat are you approving?\nHave you asked the right questions?\nAre you thinking long-term? \nHave you considered the awareness of the end users’ actual needs and comprehension of the systems? \nSo\, how are you going to determine what level of Irrigation Control is suitable\, necessary\, affordable\, and maintainable? \n  \n3 sessions / 3 months will afford you the answers\, or at least\, the process to derive at a defendable decision. \nSession 1: September 29th-30th (Tue/Wed) \nOverview of the World of Irrigation\, spotlighting the complexities of Irrigation Control Systems. \nSession 2: October 27th-28th (Tue/Wed) \nAssessing current status of systems and staff. \nSession 3: November 17th-18th (Tue/Wed) \nBuilding out the thought process systematically with a model site. \n  \n*Lunch provided \n  \nPurchase tickets HERE. \n— \nGordon Kunkle is currently employed with SiteOne Landscape Supply as the Western States/Canada Regional Trainer for irrigation\, and a Project Manager in Project Services team. Gordon started out on a career path pursuing landscape architecture\, however an opportunity to join an irrigation consulting firm in the San Francisco Bay Area caused a redirection of focus. He later obtained a C-27 Landscape Contractor license in California\, and holds certifications in Design\, Auditing\, Contractor and Water Management with the Irrigation Association. \nThese certifications led to opportunities to provide input and manage significant corporate facilities\, public areas\, and private developments in multiple states through central irrigation control platforms. After spending several years as a sales manager for Hunter within the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada regions\, he took a position as the inaugural Water Manager for the City of Portland Parks. Now\, along with his duties at SiteOne\, Gordon is also a part-time faculty member conducting irrigation courses at Clackamas Community College located in Oregon City\, Oregon.
