The Lynden land team has been hosting monthly volunteer work days for several years, but occasionally we have larger projects that fall outside that structure.

This fall we will be planting rings of vegetation around the bases of two of our legacy trees—a beech and a maple—on our front lawn. We will release the root crowns by removing the sod that grows around the trunk. This will allow the roots of the trees to breathe while introducing new plants to create a healthy soil microbiome to replace the grass. These rings protect the roots from compaction by keeping pedestrians at a slight distance, and they also look quite beautiful. Tasks will include planting small plugs of native perennials, newspapering, and mulching.

Volunteers are encouraged to bring gardening gloves and digging tools (if you have them). Water, snacks, and additional tools will be provided!

Fall 2024 Session: (14 Weeks) Wednesdays, September 11–December 18, 2024 (no class 11/27) | 3:30pm – 5:30pm | $308/$224 members for the 14-week session

Art club is a community of young artists who are independent in their art practice but value a place to exchange ideas and support ,and learn from one another. Students will design a long-term independent art project at the beginning of the session and gather for in-progress reviews, take part in creative art challenges, have conversations about contemporary artists, and discuss their work with Lynden educators and their peers. Students will present their work at our final art club meeting.
