- Wilma Jozwiak Landis has had a long tradition as a place for nature education and the arts. Even when the pandemic necessitated the cancellation of events, the Arboretum continued to provide information and entertainment to our community on Facebook Live. Executive Director Fred Breglia and gardener Erin Breglia posted short videos featuring “homemade” music and videos about garden-related topics. Nature educator George Steele was up for a challenge and has reformatted many of his workshops – and they became virtual Facebook Live events. Fred’s popular pruning class went live. Landis received grant funding from Stewart's Shops to help support George's classes. The Full Moon Concert Series has also taken to the Internet. And we've just added an hour-long concert from the Upper Catskill String Quartet! Both programs received grant funding: This project is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by The Greene County Council on the Arts dba CREATE Council for Resources to Enrich the Arts, Technology & Education. As each event is recorded, it is uploaded to YouTube and the video link is posted on a special page on our website. To see what videos are available, visit landislive.weebly.com/videos.html. Please consider dropping something into the online Tip Jar: every little donation helps us fill the gap left by the cancellation of our Spring Plant Sale and other events.
