This early-spring session celebrates Hoyt Arboretum’s landscape as it reawakens—especially the magnolia and emerging buds. Using pressed plants, flowers, and delicate collage techniques, we explore themes of emergence, renewal, and balance as the Earth invites us to reinvent ourselves in tune with the Spring season.

You will learn: How to create collages and visual poems using pressed botanicals – The symbolism of early spring blooms and cultural celebrations of the Spring Equinox (magnolia, trilliums, snowdrops, and more) – Creative prompts that invite balance and personal renewal at the Equinox

You will leave with: A spring botanical collage or visual poem – A personal self-note for the season of renewal – A renewed sense of hope, softness, and alignment with nature’s cycles
