Cellphone use
When arriving for a workshop at Rugged Weeds, please either turn off your mobile phone or switch it to Airplane Mode. Much of the benefit obtained from therapeutic horticulture is to experience what you are doing in nature in the moment without screen time. We also routinely provide materials after workshops about the subject matter. For individuals participating in workshops, we are trying to reduce the likelihood of participants being distracted by - or distracting others - with their phones. Please also see the paragraph below regarding taking pictures of participants. If a picture would be a valuable asset to your learning experience, please discuss this with us. It may be possible to build into the workshops picture time or for the pictures to be taken afterwards.
