You are invited to learn about Tarweed, a culturally and ecologically important plant that is reawakening in Corvallis/Benton County by watching this locally-important webinar.


Join over 300 people who registered for this Champinefu Lecture Series webinar to learn about why Tarweed (Madia or sawal) is the “Plant for the People” and why Tarweed is now a “buzzword” in Corvallis (Champinefu).




Fibers
Release your “someday” yarn or fabric and swap it for your “now” project!

We're hosting a fiber swap! Join us Thursday, November 20th from 4 - 8pm (during the Corvallis Arts Walk) at 400 SW 2nd Street in Corvallis and bring or take home crafty fiber supplies. Here are the details:

  • See fiber/fabric demos

  • Bring a favorite project to show and inspire

You are invited to the Tarweed Awakening Corvallis! Tarweed is awakening in Corvallis and we are beginning to see it more and more as people are letting it grow. Tarweed is also awakening Corvallis to the conditions of Champinefu. Join us to learn about Tarweed the plant, the person and the place.


The Awakening is free and open to the public. There is no registration, so just show up!
