    Join the Westside Summer Garden Club! The Bass Harbor Memorial Library and the Bar Harbor Garden Club are offering a summer gardening program for ages 8-14, to foster a life-long interest in gardening and horticulture by providing a hands-on gardening experience to youth. The program runs from June to August and focuses on education and instruction in the areas of garden planning, cultivation, stewardship, harvesting, and conservation. 
    To register go to: https://forms.gle/TfhxKPKyAa6DmfuZ7
    Participants will be paired with a mentor from the Bar Harbor Garden club and participate in 3 Saturday morning gardening programs where they will learn about the gardening process from planning to harvest, then get their hands dirty preparing soil, designing a garden, planting seedlings, and tending and harvesting their crops. Club members will have access to a plot at the Kelley Farm where they will garden during the program and on their own time. 
    Program dates are on Saturdays from 10-noon: June 25, July 16, and August 20, 2022 with a harvest party in early September. (date TBD)

    2022 Art and Nature Camp: Patterns and Rhythms

    July 25-29, 2022 Ages 7 to 11       

    Explore the patterns and rhythms found throughout the island landscape. Nature offers a kaleidoscope of patterns, some obvious and others only noticeable upon close inspection. Patterns repeat, surprise and awe when seen from a different viewpoint. Art and Nature Camp will investigate the natural rhythm of nature’s patterns and design. Directors Kathie Pratt and Dawn Nuding invite children ages 7-11 to turn discovery into artistic inspiration! Get close and discover the hidden patterns of a shell, or take a long view and revel in the unifying pattern made by a beach full of multicolored periwinkles. Let the rhythm of the waves or the rustle of the trees, inspire you to create artwork through techniques such as weaving, printing, and collage, tapping into your inner artist and gaining self-understanding and expression along the way.

    Camp fee is by sliding scale $25 to $100. Camp runs from Monday July 25 to Friday July 29, 9:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. at the Bass Harbor Memorial Library in Bernard.  A final presentation of campers’ work will be displayed at a library reception on the evening of July 29.

     

    You may register online, print out a registration form to mail in, or contact the Bass Harbor Memorial Library at 207-244-3798, librarian@bassharborlibrary.com, or Kathie Pratt, Camp Director, 207–244-0558 kathie.pratt@bassharborlibrary.com to have a form mailed to you.
