My name is Mary Kraemer. I’m a garden artist and teacher. My hope is to help more people create more familial bonds of love for the environment in this critical time. We have a window to make a change. If we employ these techniques right now we can prevent disaster.
I love to combine art and climate programming using horticultural therapy methods.. My experiences include: elderly centers, individuals with disabilities, children's summer camps. My classes and lectures include: covercrops, microbial applications, water use and the role in sequestering carbon, mulching, layering, berms, winter vortexes, ceremonies and prayers for connection, whole community actions and art (#climatechangegardener, #cloudlayergardening).

![]() How to be a Climate Healer
• How can you heal the climate? I wrote a pamphlet on Cloud Layer Gardening. This method brings together several methods to keep the unseen water vapor in the local water cycle nourishing microbes in the soil and plants. When you have thriving microbes you store carbon. Storing carbon heals the planet. • How to plant covercrops? See this • How do you do it in your own backyard? Get a Certified Wildlife Habitat • How to give back to the land through your work? Keeping Nature Alive in your own backyard gives you birds, insects, butterflies, peace, calm and hope. They all thank you! • How do you capture rainwater and why is it important? See this 40% of local rainfall comes from plants. Less plants less rainfall. • How do you sequester carbon? Planting long rooted plants. Plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, exude it and store it in he soil. Mycorrhizal Fungi and Bacteria are responsible for fixing carbon in the soil. Any pesticides, herbicides disturb soil life. We need the soil life to sequester carbon. Think about the fields in farmland have no soil life from overuse of chemicals. They are massively losing carbon all over the US. By reweaving ourselves to the land, we reestablish the healing connection it gives us and sustainability we can create with our work. What a difference we can make, just by mulching and using microbes. We making connections to feed our selves mentally spiritual and physically. How is that ancestors made art that has lasted a millennium and not polluted or destroyed the land, we can do this too! Receive your natural green magic using nature’s language. In my class or lecture, how to Be Climate Healer • We will explore into wind, water, earth, and climate • Make digital and natural art with natural materials on hand. Exploring photostory, songstory, and animal story with sound and stop motion animations. • Learn how to quickly use your ideas and devices to make create and express your feelings with natural green magic. • Participants to explore their own relationship with the environment while sharing stories and creating with natural, traditional, and digital art materials and techniques. • Content created will be compiled and processed into sharable images, video clips, and pod casts. If you have a group I can come share my class with, let me know! I can come to you! I love to combine technology to create digital and physical art with making plant and seed based images like mandalas, and animations for story telling. |
