Join local birder Richard Candler, author of Birding Sewanee, on a morning bird walk around Sequatchie Cove Farm. A class for both beginners, who will learn some ID basics and also advanced birders to gather with others and bird Sequatchie Cove Farm’s Property. There will be a special emphasis on identification by bird song.

Join Sujata Singh, chef and owner of Spice Trail in Chattanooga, for an immersive, hands-on Indian cooking class where you’ll learn how to make classic vegetable samosas completely from scratch: from kneading and rolling the dough to shaping, filling, and frying them to golden perfection. We’ll also prepare a fresh, flavorful chutney to pair with your samosas, just as they’re enjoyed across India.

Together we will learn the basics of watercolor painting and pencil sketching, discussing color mixing, shades, brush choices, etc., and then wander out to the property of Sequatchie Cove Farm, which boasts a huge diversity of plants, to paint en plein air! We will learn techniques for observing these plants and wildflowers, and then translate our observations on to paper with pencil and watercolor paint! This will be a meditative, fun, and creative class with a dose of ecology sprinkled in!

Come see how two generations of conscientious farming has resulted in a robust operation, deep community roots, and a beautiful, ecologically balanced agricultural system.
