SUMMARY:Ephemeral Bloom: Weathered by Time Presented by ARTx @ The Arb
DESCRIPTION:Ephemeral Bloom: Weathered by Time \nA New Collaborative Artwork by Artist Jill Sans and Botanical Consultant & Storyteller Kate Watters \n\n\n\nEphemeral Bloom: Weathered by Time weaves together pigment\, plant knowledge\, and poetry to create layered narratives that unfold across the seasons. • Sans’ abstract panels—painted with botanical inks and pigments crafted from native and locally grown plants—will shift naturally with sunlight\, wind\, and weather\, embracing impermanence as part of their design. • Watters’ poetic storytelling—informed by decades of botanical work\, conservation practice\, and ecological study—will guide visitors into deeper reflection on the themes of seasonality\, resilience\, and relationship with place. \nDeveloped in part at Wild Heart Farm in Rimrock\, AZ\, the project incorporates plants gathered and grown by Watters such as marigold\, cosmos\, black Hopi sunflower and those collected here in Coconino Forest by Sans such as Aspen leaves\, ponderosa bark and rabbitbrush. Together\, they form the pigments and mark-making materials that set the foundations for these artworks. Their collaboration began with research visits to The Arboretum in November 2025\, where they studied the grounds\, learned from Arboretum staff\, and revisited a beloved plant Watters was introduced to years ago at the start of her botany journey.

SUMMARY:Ales with the Arb! Every 3rd Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:Planned speakers and topics (subject to change): \nBen Covington\, MOSS  WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? RESTORATION\nTopic: The increased frequency of high intensity wildfires is rapidly changing ecosystems in the western United States. This regime change calls for the development of additional tools for our toolbelt in restoring burnt ecosystems. It may come as a surprise that mosses\, unassuming as they appear\, contribute significantly to the post-fire environment. I hope to provide some insight into what makes mosses so effective in treating post-fire soils and what we are doing to try to assist their establishment for post-fire restoration.\n \nGreg with USGS will discuss using remote sensing to study active volcanoes and geothermal areas.
