June Wildflowers
…and Other Cool Plants!
with Roland “Boot” Boutwell
Sunday, June 1st, 9:30 am – noon
“What is so rare as a day in June?” especially when one is taking a leisurely walk through the meadows and forests around scenic Wright-Locke Farm in search of wildflowers and other cool plants.
We won’t have to walk very far to see a host of late spring flowers in bloom. We’ll take a leisurely stroll in order to enjoy the beauty of these flowers, learn some basic wildflower identification characteristics and also learn some natural history and lore about the plants we see.
The program will include a few short readings about our subjects as well as a poem or two.
Dress and Gear
Make sure to dress appropriately for the forecasted weather at the time of the class. And while not a strenuous walk, you will be covering uneven terrain so sturdy hiking sneakers or shoes are always advised.

Tier B $25 (cost to run the class)

Restorative Yoga
with Jaime-Lyn Gaudet
Monday, June 9, 7:00 – 8:00 pm
Monday, July 7, 7:00 – 8:00 pm
This evening class will combine the meditative qualities of a slow flow and the deep nourishment of a restorative practice. Beginning with a slow and intentional flow to move stagnant energy, we will then shift toward longer held, fully supported, restorative postures to foster quiet and calm in both mind and body. During this practice, we will cultivate a sense of steadiness and ease within, as we move into a more quiet and still space. All are welcome, from beginner to seasoned practitioner, for this hour of self care.
Props
Yoga mat
Blanket (a yoga blanket, or any firm blanket will work)
Bolster or pillow(s)
2 yoga blocks
Yoga strap (or scarf)

Almost Summer Photo Walk
with Sue D’Arcy Fuller
Sunday, June 15th, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Join photographer and Wright-Locke Farm educator Sue D’Arcy Fuller in an informative and fun late afternoon photo walk during the golden hour (the hour before sunset) on Wright Locke Farm! Slow down and experience the farm and woods through your own creative vision with new friends.
We will meet in the historic 1827 barn and spend the first 30 minutes discussing photographic composition, lighting, shadow, and ideas to bring new perspectives to your photography. After that, we will go outside to walk around the farm and the woods with various planned stops to capture the beautiful landscape, wildflowers and candid portraits of the chickens and goats.
If we are lucky, the weather will provide us with golden light to bathe the beautiful old farm buildings and scenes, allowing us to create some stunning images.
On this walk, we will emphasize photographing during the time of light change before and leading up to sunset at the farm. Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to attend!
It will not be a strenuous walk, but participants should be able to walk in the woods for about a mile on trails with uneven terrain.
Dress and Gear
Make sure to dress appropriately for the forecasted weather at the time of the class.
Any type camera is welcome, digital or film, including phones (please note: you should have a working knowledge of your camera).
