About the event
So-called "Oriental" or round-leafed bittersweet is a creeping vine with inedible berries that is considered invasive in North America. Frustrating to gardeners and arborists, and not readily favored by birds, bittersweet is a largely useless bane on wild land. We can use traditional harvesting techniques to tend Asian bittersweet in the wild: harvesting material for baskets while controlling and suppressing future damaging growth.Â
Learn to make a beautiful woven wicker heart! We'll cover identification, responsible collection, materials processing and storage, and creation. We may use invasive bittersweeet vines or wild willow shoots for the wicker hearts. $55 includes all required tools, materials, tuition, a glass of kombucha or beer, and a tip for the bartender.Â
