Learn how to sow seeds of native plants in the winter, to welcome beauty and diversity to your yard in the coming year.

Come join us to learn about the diverse plants that grow here in Maine and their unique seed collection and seed sowing processes. In this workshop, Wild Seed Project staff will facilitate a hands-on exploration of the many steps of growing native plants from seed, and establishing your own diverse, pollinator-friendly garden using seed-grown plants. Each participant will sow two pots of seeds; one to take home with them, and one to stay at Viles Arboretum to add to the Community Seed Garden! Weather permitting, the workshop will begin with a walk to discuss plant identification and seed collection methods. Viles is a longtime partner of Wild Seed Project, and we’re so happy to be back again to offer this workshop together!

On Friday, November 7th from 3:00 to 5:00pm, the Jackson Memorial Library in Tenants Harbor will hold an opening reception for its November art show, “Seasons of St. George.” Refreshments will be served.

The show marks the return of Port Clyde artist Sandra Mason Dickson, who has been painting local scenes year-round since 1982.

The exhibit will feature a diverse selection of the area’s four seasons: snow and ice, raging ocean storms, logging while the ground is frozen, and quiet days that invite a walk in the woods; mud season followed by the colors of spring; fishing boats and the famous Laura B; cutting hay fields; creeks and tidal coves; a moonrise, sunsets, and more.

Dickson is known for her portraits of local people and creatures, both wild and domestic, and the show has plenty of horses for equine-loving visitors.

In addition to her work as a painter, Dickson has written and published three books and is working on a new one.

The show will be on display during November and is open to the public during regular library hours. A percentage of all sales will be donated to the library.

Sidle House Gallery’s third annual small new original works exhibition,  ‘S.N.O.W. ‘25,’ will be on view November 6 thru 30.

Highlighting both emerging artists and those with well-established studio followings; the show includes painters, ceramicists, photographers, and multi-media artists. Recurring themes in this collection evoke foraging, time, place, patterns, elements, companions loved and forgotten, oracles, and warnings.  
Featuring small works at the end of the season is an opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to acquire pieces at a more accessible scale and price. Visitors will see work by artists Cynthia J.
