Join host Julie Fisher and Instructor Samantha Eff for a 4 part series where together we will do some guided foraging and then practice some field journaling. Also known as nature journaling we commit our observations and new knowledge to paper. It’s a versatile tool that includes art, writing and honing one’s ability to see multiple layers and is a good complement to those who like to take photographs.

Bring: water, snacks, a journal, pen or pencil, shade hat, bug spray, closed toe shoes

Meet Samantha Eff -a naturalist, gardener, teacher, artist, forager, mushroom and plant nerd, and a constant student of all of the wonders of the forest. She is the owner operator of a small mushroom focused business in Hanover, PA called The Mushroomworks. This connection with the forest has led to a rebirth of her mind, body, and spirit, and she wants nothing more than to spread that joy.

She has taught both low tech and traditional mushroom growing techniques, mushroom identification, weed walks, botanical illustration of mushrooms, spore print art, and natural/mushroom dyeing. When not walking in the woods, she can be found teaching art in Baltimore, or working on the never-ending list of homestead projects.

She can be found on Instagram, and Facebook under The Mushroomworks

Julie switched gears and embraced the chaos of raising 3 people. Julie’s compulsion to have a project launched the website PoetryInBaltimore(.)com which morphed into multiple poetry reading series and special events that garnered enough support to build LitMore, a member supported writing center in Baltimore that offered classes, workshops, writing studios, a poetry library, and a kaleidoscope of special literary events. Now she has a homestead and envisions a little clubhouse where the arts and farming and re-learning good relationship to the Land all commingle.
