Virtual : Not Your Mother's Garden with Deborah Chud

In “Not Your Mother’s Garden”, Deborah Chud takes the audience on a photo tour of her highly
unusual Piet-Oudolf-style New Perennial garden and describes the design principles underlying
it. Many of the plants are unfamiliar—even to experienced and knowledgeable gardeners.
These “New Perennials” were all taken from a distinctive, non-traditional canon of plants, and
they exhibit the naturalistic qualities valued by the New Perennialists. What’s new about New
Perennials, and what can they do for you? Walk through her garden with her to find out.

Deborah Chud is a retired Massachusetts physician turned garden maker, consultant and
educator. Her 6 years of research on New Perennial gardens, including NY’s High Line,
Chicago’s Lurie Garden, the Oudolf Meadow at Deleware Botanic Gardens, and Oudolf Garden
Detroit, generated the most comprehensive existing database of New Perennial plant
combinations and led to the creation of her own highly unusual New Perennial garden. In the
fall of 2020, she presented her work as part of “Piet Oudolf: How Does He Do It?”--an
international event organized by Piet Oudolf’s co-author, Noel Kingsbury, under the aegis of
gardenmasterclass.org. She has also presented to members of the following institutions and
organizations: Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum, the United
States Botanical Garden in Washington, D.C., the Ecological Landscape Alliance, the Northwest
Perennial Alliance, Toronto Botanical Garden, and Delaware Botanic Gardens. The latter 2
public gardens contain Piet Oudolf-designed sections. She lives in Chestnut Hill, MA and spends
most of her time consulting and coaching home gardeners—both in person and virtually.

This exciting workshop is brought to you by the West Tisbury and Vineyard Haven libraries.

Please contact amcdonough@clamsnet.org for the Zoom link.

Hybrid : Songwriting with Peter Halperin

Yip Harburg who wrote the lyrics for “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” said

“Words make you think, music makes you feel, songs make you feel your thoughts”. To which I add “and think your feelings” 

This workshop explores ways in which we can facilitate this interaction between our thoughts and feelings to create songs.

This is the 3rd of the four workshops:

SESSION 3 April 12th

Asking for inspiration from others and ourselves. 

It’s not just ok to borrow musical and lyrical ideas, it’s inevitable! We will select words from a favorite poem or prose that members will write music for, and do the same selecting either a melody or chord progression from a favorite song or piece of music that they will write lyrics for.

Members will ask themselves “what is the most important thing for me to communicate in a song this week?” Having selected it members will write that song during the week.

SESSION 4 May 10th

Songs must be sung!! Members will select one of the songs they have written during the 4 months and share it with or without instrumental accompaniment. When possible, we will all sing harmony with the songwriter. 

This exciting songwriting opportunity wil be led by Peter Halperin, who brought down the house

This series is brought to you in collaboration with the VH, WT and Chilmark Public Libraries and

The 30% Climate Solution: Forest conservation and management in NE presented by Bob Perschel

Take a moment to imagine a New England in the not-too-distant future where vast and wonderous wildlands and exemplary managed woodlands together support thriving wildlife populations, sustain rural jobs, provide the raw materials to meet our housing needs, and store immense amounts of carbon. Such a future is well within reach but only if we put aside differences and collaborate on behalf of the forest that sustains us.

New England is the most forested region in the country and is a key part of one of the most intact temperate forests on Earth. New England forests are mostly privately owned and form a backdrop to the region’s identity and way of life. What many don’t recognize is the huge potential for these forests to help us avoid the worst of climate change and support rich biodiversity. To reach such potential, partnerships are emerging between organizations long dedicated to forest conservation, but not always on the same page.

The work between New England Forestry Foundation (NEFF) and Northeast Wilderness Trust (NEWT), is a good example. NEWT focuses on rewilding land through forever-wild conservation — places free from logging and allowed to grow old. NEFF protects managed forests, and brings exemplary forestry practices to them and selectively harvests trees that provide renewable forest products. Many assume these conservation goals clash. They do not. We know there is a better way forward by putting aside our differences and working together toward a resilient future.

Please join us for a presentation by Bob Perschel, Chilmark resident and Executive Director of the New England Forestry Foundation, which is executing an exciting forest restoration initiative that has the potential to offset 30% of our regional climate mitigation needs. NEFF’s climate program was featured on Chronicle TV Magazine and recently awarded a $30 million grant from United States Department of Agriculture to pilot this innovative approach.

This exciting program is co-sponsored with the MV Commission's upcoming event, Climate Action Day, on Sunday May 7th at the Ag Hall. The MVC has planned a variety of sustainability programs that day as well as having organization's Climate Action representitatives present for people to engage with.

Virtual: Stories from the Studebaker and Other Cars We Have Loved

 Storyteller, songsinger and games leader, Todd Goodwin blends his experiences in camping, education and theater to provide a memorable and unique experience for audiences and participants of all ages.

 
Mr. Goodwin began his career as a story teller while a camper, counselor and director of Camp Monomonac in Rindge, NH. Around the campfire there are no loudspeakers, costumes or sets, just the face and voice of the teller who uses the imagination to take you to different places in time and space. Mr. Goodwin creates many of the stories he tells from his camping back ground and growing up as a New England Yankee. He adds to his repertoire from literature and multi-cultural traditions and the blessings and challenges of everyday life.
He sings and plays the harmonica to create a complete “campfire” experience that can be enjoyed anywhere people gather, indoor or out.
If you have a campfire ring or outdoor spot, even better!

Growing up in the woods and hills of Fitchburg, in the heart of New England, Mr. Goodwin played many traditional children’s games; he also learned many from his years in camping, sports and teaching. He can lead cooperative games and competitive games or just some old fashioned, fun games.

 Mr. Goodwin has degrees in education and history from Fitchburg State College and taught at the Applewild School for forty seven years. While Associate Director of Bement Camp and Conference Center he trained with the New Games Foundation and he has attended numerous workshops by Project Adventure,  the American Camp Association and the Association of Independent Schools of NE.
