SUMMARY:Indigenous Foraging with the Moon Cycle - Featuring Bluebird Cultural Initiative
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, learn about the intimate relationship between Indigenous practices of plant foraging and the cycles of the moon. Sicangu Lakota artist and educator Steve Tamayo will share insight on the many plant medicines Indigenous communities have relied on for generations\, how these relationships with plant relatives were impacted by colonization\, and how they remain vital still today. \n\nSteve Tamayo is the founder of the nonprofit Bluebird Cultural Initiative. The organization’s mission is to provide meaningful programming to the community that enriches their understanding of the history and cultural traditions of Native American peoples of the Great Plains.  \n  \nThis event is included with any daily admission ticket or with a membership at Kiewit Luminarium.

SUMMARY:The Seed Life Span with No More Empty Pots
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that hydroponic farming is an indoor growing method that uses a nutrient-rich water solution instead of soil?\n\nExperts in hydroponics from No More Empty Pots\, a Kiewit Luminarium program partner\, will guide guests through the stages of hydroponic growing – including the chance to see the harvesting of mature plants grown inside the Luminarium! Hydroponic farming has several benefits. It maximizes space\, uses less water\, and is more predictable than traditional farming due to its controlled environment. Learn how rural and urban farmers are using this method now and how it may play an even bigger role in the future. \n\nThis event is included with any daily admission ticket or with a membership.
