Forage and Feast at Lindisfarne with Jill Shaffer

Saturday, September 5th * 10:00am - 12:00pm

Join hostess Lindesfarne owners Andy and Cathrine King and Plant expert Jill Shaffer on a food adventure. You will need your walking shoes, a notebook & pen, a camera, and a shopping bag as you walk part of the 80 acre homestead to learn about nature's abundance. Things you think are weeds are edible, nutritious and delicious!

Along the walk, Jill will point out various plants and how they can be used for food. You can pick some for your use. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for foraging and cooking with these surprising plants is matched by her kitchen skills. After the walk, folks will gather for some tasty treats prepared by Jill for the event, including a soup, a salad and quiche made with foraged ingredients.  Please be prepared to walk on uneven ground and to be in nature, including an outdoor composting toilet and a dry sink. Bring your own beverage.

Exhibition at Adrian District Library

July 19th, 2026

Free More Info

This exhibition is held in conjunction with the CompARTments exhibition at the Adrian Center for the Arts, Monday June 8-Sunday July 19. The idea is for an artist to make art, on, in, around a box.Artist Claudia Wallace’s passion is collecting ephemera; forlorn objects, faded lithographic images, cigar boxes, lots of them, all from another era. She then assembles them into mini-vignettes. Her house is taken over by completed boxes, boxes in process and the painstaking organization of the materials that will bring her ideas to life. The time, the thought, the attention to detail are what make these works extraordinary.You too can create your own box. Claudia will teach an all materials provided class right here at the Adrian District Library on Tues June 16, 5:30-7:30.
