“Birthdays, Blooms, and Poetry of the Prairie” Walk
2025-07-01 14:00 - 15:30 | Pope Farm Conservancy, 7440 West Old Sauk Rd, Middleton, Wisconsin, 53593, United States
Join us at Pope Farm Conservancy on Tuesday, July 1st, at 2:00PM for our “Birthdays, Blooms and Poetry of the Prairie” Walk with Naturalist and Poet Kathy Miner. To conservationist and teacher Aldo Leopold, July was the month of a very special prairie birthday. On this walk we’ll look for the plant he celebrated among the 100+ species blooming in our prairies and learn about ways homeowners can benefit by adding native plants to their landscaping. Enjoy some prose and poetry along the path. This will be a 1.5-hour guided tour of the Pope Farm Conservancy restored prairies. Free and open to the public.
Speaker Bio: Kathy has been a naturalist with the UW-Madison Arboretum since the last century. She’s educated as a teacher and librarian but really prefers being outdoors. A published poet, she tries to get art and science to shake hands as often as possible. Some of her best friends have been trees, and most of her favorite toys have been words.

A YURT OF WOOL, A WORLD OF TRADITION
Experience a traditional Mongolian yurt, made of thick felted wool walls wrapped around a collapsible wooden frame. Then join fiber artist Linda Johnson-Morke for a hands-on workshop to create a large felted tapestry using wool sourced from local sheep farms. You will discover that transforming fluffy wool into felt is nothing short of magical!
Linda Johnson-Morke has been a fiber enthusiast since she started knitting at the age of five. Knitting led to spinning, which led to sheep, which led to felting. Trips to Norway and Mongolia furthered her knowledge of the felting process. Her capstone project was felting the covering for an authentic yurt. Linda lives on a sheep farm in Isanti, Minnesota.
