Fig Propagation Workshop

The Fig Mamma, Sandy Pavao-Pinarreta is coming to the Roger Williams Park Botanical Center to teach a class on propagating fig trees.  Learn how to prune and start cuttings and care for your fig.   We will be using cuttings from our very own fig tree located in our greenhouses. This highly versatile and deliciously sweet fig species has been growing here since 2010. Attendees will receive instruction and hands on potting at the event. 

Each person will receive their very own fig cutting to grow at home. Own a piece of our history!  Attendance is limited so sign up soon.   Tickets at link above  – Member: 30.00  Non-Member: 35.00

As the seasons begin to change, it's a great time to reconnect with the natural world and slow down. We're excited to partner with the @rwpbotanicalcenter to offer a free Forest Bathing (Shinrin Yoku) session on September 19 at 10 AM with Lee Ann. This guided experience invites you to breathe deeply, notice your surroundings, and open your senses to the sights, sounds, textures, and rhythms of the forest. 

Lee Ann Freitas is the director of the Botanical Center and a Certified Forest Therapist, horticulturist, and a hardcore advocate for all things nature. She creates a welcoming and peaceful environment for participants to slow down, connect with nature, and be present.

The session is free, but registration is limited – sign up online (link in bio)!

Roz shares some of their favorite memories spent at Roger Williams Park (including actual swan encounters!), the full-circle experience of writing and touring NOVA ONE’s latest album, “how to kiss”, building community around music, and more!
