The State Botanical Garden of Georgia education department has been working alongside Caree Cotwright, an associate professor in the nutritional sciences department with the University of Georgia College of Family and Consumer Sciences, since 2017. The Pittuloch Foundation supported a gift for a graduate student, Camaria Welch, to develop a curriculum called Bee Smart Eat Smart that bridges botanical gardens, food banks and nutrition. What started as one graduate student’s project has turned into a lasting partnership providing food and nutrition service learning and experiential learning projects for high school students through Ph.D. students. These recipe cards were developed by Claire Mouser, a nutritional sciences Ph.D. student, as part of her assistantship rotation to build required competencies for the dietetic field. The recipes are designed to highlight produce grown in the Alice H. Richards Children’s Garden and include simple, easy to find ingredients along with cooking instructions and nutritional information. These recipe cards are shared with Campus Kitchen, UGA’s student run hunger relief program at the Office of Service Learning.

HIKES AND RAMBLES

NATURE RAMBLERS Thursdays March 3 through Nov. 18 9 a.m. (each ramble lasts about 90 minutes) Leaders: Linda Chafin, conservation botanist (retired); Dale Hoyt, biologist and naturalist; Don Hunter, photographer and naturalist Meet at children’s garden arbor

Join the Nature Ramblers to learn more about the natural areas, flora and fauna of the State Botanical Garden while making new friends and enjoying the fresh air.

SUNFLOWER CONCERT SERIES

June 7 - Timi Conley and the Wonderland Rangers July 12 - The Splitz Band Aug. 23 - Klezmer Local 42 Sept. 27 - Randall Bramblett

The Sunflower Concert Series at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia is returning in summer 2022, offering an opportunity for the community to enjoy music in the garden.

The concerts, set in the Flower Garden, offer visitors an unparalleled experience, with some of Athens’ finest musicians performing in a beautiful horticultural setting.

In its 21 seasons, the Sunflower Concert Series has featured performances from Vic Chesnutt, Neal Pattman, Kevn Kinney (Drivin’ and Cryin’), Grogus, Caroline Aiken, David Lowery (Cracker) and Modern Skirts.

The upcoming season will feature two of the series’ most popular performers, Randall Bramblett and Klezmer Local 42. Bramblett, one of the first artists to perform at a Sunflower Series concert, will bring his decades of experience touring, including stints with Gregg Allman, Steve Winwood and Widespread Panic, to the September concert. His albums of original music combine influences of folk, blues and gospel music.

Klezmer Local 42 performs in five different languages while incorporating other influences into their music without straying away from traditional klezmer, always getting the audience up and dancing in the soft grass of the Flower Garden. Their performance will be in August after the fall semester at UGA has begun.

The Splitz Band will bring their repertoire of soul and rhythm and blues to the stage in July, and the whole series will kick off in June with a set by Timi Conley and the Wonderland Rangers. Athens is a town with an amazing array of talented artists, and for over two decades, the Sunflower Concert Series has given musicians the opportunity to demonstrate their compositions through the art of performance.

The Certificate in Native Plants offers committed individuals a comprehensive series of short courses in identification, cultivation, propagation, ecology and conservation of native Georgia plants. With an emphasis on participatory learning, the short courses are designed to provide a supportive and challenging learning atmosphere. Participants will gain a greater appreciation and understanding of native plants in a broad context.

The certificate program is appropriate for home gardeners, garden club members, native plant enthusiasts, green industry professionals, conservationists and others interested in the study of native plants. The program is also designed to appeal to professionals working in land, resource and park management, including natural resource agencies and private conservation programs. Knowledge and skills gained can be applied to both volunteer and professional services in the fields of conservation, horticulture, landscape design, land management and environmental education. One of the goals of the program is to have certified students participate in ongoing public and private efforts to preserve and restore Georgia’s flora and natural habitats.

PEPPERBUSH

JAIME ALISHIO

An Indiana native, Jaime Alishio began his on and off again love of nature photography after his service in the U.S. Navy. During his time in school at Purdue University and the University of Georgia, during his nursing career in Georgia, Minnesota and Illinois, and his retirement back in Athens, Alishio found that spending time in nature always brought him peaceful serenity and ultimately drew him back to photography.

Looking back over the years, Alishio remembers what he still believes to be one of his best photographs, a photo of a ramshackle weather-beaten shack taken on a cold Minnesota winter walk. From film cameras to the current digital age, he has taken a number of photography classes with a special interest in film development, black and white photography and computer/digital lightroom.

His recent focus on the nature he loves has provided beautiful botanical photography featured in this, Alishio’s first, formal showing of his work. The collection is entitled “C-H-O-N = Nature.”

“Nature speaks to my soul,’’ said Alishio. ‘’I am in awe of what nature produces. It is amazing to me that from the giant Redwood to the tiny amoeba, all are produced by the same main elements, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen.”

His work will be on display in the Gardenside Room of the Visitor Center from April 3 to July 31, 2022. Alishio will host an opening reception on April 3 from 2-4 p.m. in the Gardenside Room.

LYNWOOD HALL

Lynwood Hall is an artist from Moultrie, Ga. and Cashiers, N.C. He graduated from the University of Georgia, where he majored in art. He also served as a member of the Board of Advisors for the State Botanical Garden for over 30 years and is now an emeritus member.

For more than 20 of those years, Hall designed and painted large murals to depict the theme of the country the garden was honoring for the annual Gardens of the World Ball. He also painted the Tree of Life that surrounds the Flora Danica porcelain plates in the new Porcelain and Decorative Arts Museum at the garden.

Hall primarily paints landscapes in oil. His paintings are impressions derived from his travels over the last 40 years to all seven continents. The subjects range from scenes of Monet’s gardens in Giverny, France to scenes in rural Georgia and western North Carolina.

It has been 25 years since Hall last exhibited his work at the botanical garden. The upcoming exhibition will feature landscapes as well as some contemporary subjects that have become his newest venture in abstract color compositions.
