...Monday, FEBRUARY 8 for BROOKSIDE GARDENS, NATURE CENTERS, HISTORICAL, CULTURAL, DRIVING RANGE GOLF AND ARCHERY PROGRAMS

Spring is quickly approaching, and as we near a full year of living through a pandemic, I reflect on many things. The past year has shone a spotlight on the essential service our parks, trails, and open spaces provide the community. These amenities serve as safe places for each one of us to exercise, recharge our mental health, and connect with others, while of course maintaining appropriate 6'+ social distance.

I am extremely proud of the work our parks department has done to maintain our public spaces, and how they have adapted to continue to offer programming and classes amidst challenging circumstances.

I invite you to explore this guide for ideas and activities to keep your mind and body active. Discover a new trail, enjoy a new playground, or take your four-legged friend to a new dog park. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find both in-person and virtual opportunities that appeal to all ages and interests. Wishing you a healthy and safe spring,

Casey Anderson

Ground Covers: Great Alternatives to Turf Grass

Kathy Jentz, Editor of Washington Gardener Magazine Ground covers are low-growing plants that serve many different purposes in the landscape from limiting weed growth to stabilizing slopes to adding texture to your garden. Maintaining a lawn of turf grass is one of the most expensive and time-consuming uses for your land. Constant mowing, fertilizing, weeding, watering, re-seeding, edging, and aerating not only eat up your resources, but it can be harsh on the environment. Lawns do not absorb water run-off as well as planting beds and many of the chemicals you use to maintain it are toxic to the nearby streambeds and Chesapeake Bay.

Brookside Gardens School of Botanical Art & Illustration Spring Ephemerals with Colored Pencil & Watercolor

Instructor: Wendy Hollender The dramatic interplay of light and dark on spring ephemerals are quite enchanting yet they can often be challenging to draw. Join Wendy to learn the techniques outlined in her new book ?The Joy of Botanical Drawing? including how to use a grisaille method for creating undertones in a neutral color allowing for three-dimensional accurate drawing and clear structure of plants. Students will explore layering techniques that utilize watercolor pencil washes in combination with dry colored pencils creating a painting that has realistic vibrant color and rich depth. Colored pencils allow for more control in adding details. Embossing tools will be used to add fine lines, pattern details and subtle veining. This method delivers quicker results than traditional watercolor or color pencil techniques, and since the materials used are quite portable, it allows the artist to work in the field or in a variety of settings. NOTE: All botanical art courses will be taught online using Zoom, a free online application. Students will need access to a computer that has a built-in camera or a smart phone. The instructors will use a combination of live demonstrations and short pre-recorded videos during the online workshops to demonstrate techniques and review concepts. Students will be able to work on their assignment during the week between each session. During each three-hour session students will have the opportunity to ask questions and submit their artwork via email or share it live during the class for review by the instructor.

MontgomeryParks Match Play 3.0 Tennis

Adult Cardio Tennis

The 3.0 player is fairly consistent when hitting mediumpaced shots but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth, and pace. First half of class focuses on needed drills and skills. Class finishes with a session of supervised match play. Instructor reserves the right to transfer you up or down a level if you are not closely matched in skill level.

This is a high energy class that combines the best features of the sport of tennis with cardiovascular exercise, delivering the ultimate, full body, calorie burning aerobic workout.

Match Play 3.5 Tennis The 3.5 player has dependable strokes, but still lacks depth, variety, and the ability to alter distance of shots. Lack of confidence might limit the 3.5 player in effective use of lobs, overheads, approach shots, and volleys. This player is more comfortable at net, has improved court awareness, and is developing teamwork in doubles. First half of class focuses on needed drills and skills. Class finishes with a session of supervised match play. Instructor reserves the right to transfer you up or down a level if you are not closely matched in skill level.
