The first workshop series took place in April, 2026. Participants learned about urban meadows and created a custom designs for their very own project in the two-part virtual/in-person hybrid workshop.  

  • Part 1 (virtual): One hour introduction going over site analysis, design, and installation.

  • Part 2 (in-person, Omerta Arts): Two hour design development session. Drawing materials, reference books, handouts, and guided instruction were provided. Participants were invited to share out their designs at the end of the session. 

By the end of the workshop, participants had the foundation and confidence to start their meadow project. 

Participants were also invited to join the Helena Urban Meadows (HUM) online community platform, and had the option to order plants for spring or fall project installs. 

Stayed tuned for the March, 2027 workshop announcement!

“Working with Elena is a delight! She clearly shares her knowledge presented in an engaging way. I highly recommend her workshop.”
