Gazing across alpine meadows and along forested paths, wildflowers grab our attention and symbolize the abundance of summer in the North Cascades. As we say goodbye to long days and as petals turn to fruits, this seminar will take time to memorialize the wildflowers of summer.

Artist and long-time Institute instructor Molly Hashimoto will guide learners through how to represent wildflowers in watercolor and other water-based media.

Bring your own favorite photos from your summer excursions or use Molly's. We will paint individual species, as well as mountain landscapes splashed with colorful flower meadows. Molly's new book Wildflowers of the West: An Artist's Guide will provide countless examples.

This seminar takes place on the shores of Diablo Lake at the North Cascades Environmental Learning Center, where your registration includes lodging and three meals. An optional second-night stay is also available for those who wish to continue their experience as Base Camp participants.

Scholarships and Student, Military and Disability discounts are available for most in-person programs. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. Call (360) 854-2599 for more info!

Learning Center Accommodations

Single, Double, Triple and Quad Accommodations are for families and groups who wish to guarantee lodging with specific individuals during their stay. Triple and Quad Accommodations will require use of an upper bunk, accessible by an easy-to-use ladder. Hostel pricing is the cost for sharing a room with up to three other participants. The number of occupants per room (1-4) will be determined based on the total number of hostel guests each night. We do not guarantee a room with your requested roommate under this option, and you may be lodged in a mixed gender room. Please do not select this if you have participants under 18 in your group.

The Learning Center campus features classrooms, a dining hall, a library, outdoor learning shelters, trails, a canoe dock and an amphitheater. Our three guest lodges have shared gender-specific bathrooms with showers and each room contains two sets of twin bunk beds, desks, wardrobes and wireless internet connectivity. Facilities and local trails are all ADA accessible and a personal mobility vehicle is available. Delicious, healthy meals incorporating local and organic foods are provided in our dining hall. If you have special dietary requirements or food allergies, we will gladly attempt to accommodate them with advance notice. Sorry, but we cannot accommodate pets.
