January Activites at the WV Botanic Garden

The WV Botanic Garden has the following activities coming up in January:

January 5, 10:00 - 11:15 a.m. Setting your Compass - A New Year's Yoga Practice: As the natural world slows through the winter season, activate your inner-compass to build energy for the New Year. Join yoga instructor Heidi Sherwin for a gentle, flowing yoga practice that will set you on course for an aspiring and uplifting 2019. Have fun navigating your sense of spatial orientation with balancing postures, hip-openers, and restorative inversions. Heidi's guided relaxation will set your natural compass on "calm", so you can cruise into 2019 with clarity and fresh energy! All levels welcome. $20 for WVBG members, $30 for non-members.

January 13, 2:00 p.m. Winter Botany: Let's walk in the woods, rain or shine, to observe nature during the cold time of the year. We will proceed from the lower parking lot and wander into the woods by way of the Wetland Boardwalk, taking note along the way of identifying features of trees and shrubs. We will also see evidence of wildlife activity. Nature always has surprises for me on my forest walks so let's see what we can find. Best for children 10 and older and dress for the weather. Free for WVBG members, $15 for non-members. Register here.

January 26, 1:00 p.m. Adopting a Low-Waste Lifestyle: Consider this: 91% of plastic manufactured since 1950 has never been recycled. Billions of tons of disposable products are pouring into landfills and oceans, where they may take 450 years to biodegrade. Discover simple and economical tips to drastically reduce your reliance on single-use plastic, paper, and other products in an interactive, supportive workshop led by zero-waste advocate Shannon Sankey.
