The Dogbane Workshop image represents one of the many interactive public programs we do throughout the year focused on the indigenous plants in our Wild Gardens. Led by Pomo instructors, workshop participants learn about the care and harvesting the plants, as wells as their traditional uses in Pomo culture.
