Invasive Baskets

Weave baskets using bittersweet vines! Baskets can be made with any number of materials, but being a good Green Witch involves foraging sustainably: harvesting invasive species and allowing the native ecosystem to thrive. In this workshop we’ll be weaving small baskets using Oriental Bittersweet, discussing the importance of native biodiversity, as well as the basics of what you’ll need to find your own materials moving forward. Join the Mushroom Witch and learn a fun skill that doubles as a creative, practical solution to invasive vines.
