Very unassuming ones. There are plants that subtly show us what’s to come when the season changes\, and once we learn about them and what they are capable of\, our mindset shifts and the plants teach us a lot about ourselves.’ –Vanessa Sharkey \nVanessa is part of CorVee\, a collaboration of outdoor knowledge with Cory Cliffe. From survival\, plant identification\, medicinal harvesting and invasive species control they share our knowledge everywhere they go. \n\n\n\nVenue\nCampbell River Art Gallery\n\n\nAddress\n1235 Shoppers RowCampbell RiverBCV9W 2C7\,CA\n\n\nStarts\nSat Jul 18 2026\, 10:00am PDT\n\n\nEnds\nSat Jul 18 2026\, 1:00pm PDT
