Paint Making with Invasive Plants at CCE CGC (HUDSON)
1:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Extension Education Center 479 Route 66 Hudson, NY
Through mini presentations and hands-on paint-making, this workshop explores what positive relationships might be possible once we stop seeing invasive plants only as something to fight, without denying ecological harm. The presentation includes color samples made from 30 species of invasive plants, non-native plants and weeds, a brief history of Toringo Crabapple in Japan, and grassland birds whose habitat depends on the local farms where teaching materials were collected. Participants will take home a bottle of plant pigment and a list of low-cost, recycled-material options that allow them to continue paint-making independently.
$45, limited to 8 people. Purchase ticket here.

Art Making with Invasive Plants at Berkshire Botanical Garden
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
5 West Stockbridge Road, Stockbridge, MA 01262
This workshop reframes invasive plants not only as ecological threats, but as materials for creative exploration. By transforming species such as Multiflora Rose and Japanese Barberry (removed through land management at BBG) into paint, participants engage in a practice that encourages reflection, care and responsibility. Drawing on the artist’s perspective as a Japanese immigrant and conservation advocate, the workshop also considers parallels between ecological and social coexistence. Participants will create their own plant-based paint and receive resources to continue the practice at home.
BBG members $100, non-members $130. Purchase ticket here.

HARVEST: Three Artists and Rose Hill Farm
5:30pm - 7pm
Rose Hill Farm Tasting Room,
19 Rose Hill Farm, Red Hook, NY 12571
Harvest: Three Artists, an art show at Rose Hill Farm features work by Adi Blaustein Rejto, Mayuko Fujino, and Tanya Marcuse. Opening on September 2. The show runs through November, 2026.
The farm offers a multitude of inspiration, and this exhibition aims to display how these three artists incorporate the farm into their practices. This ranges from the material, the mythology and history of apples themselves, and the ecological cycles of the apples and the life they sustain around them.
★ Please join us for the opening reception on Wednesday, September 2, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
🍎 There will be artist talks at 6 pm, followed by an orchard walk with the artists at 7:15 pm.
