MAGC Basketry Garden Tour

MAGC Basketry Garden Tour

Presented by Marin Art & Garden Center at Marin Art & Garden Center

Free event

Charlie Kennard will lead a tour of the basketry plant garden he has created at MAGC, on a sloping site adjacent to the Barn Theater.

Some 70 different species of fiber plants—the majority California natives—are on display, together with giant baskets, woven fences, and straw beehives.

Charlie will bring a selection of baskets to show, and will explain the cultivation and processing of the plants from which they are made.
