How does your brain develop? Does trauma, like COVID or other issues, change your brain? We'll explore some of these questions, as well as create a mindset or thinking pattern, in other words a habit, that could overcome some of these kinds of situations. You choose what you'd like to explore and change. Now comes the hard part: practice! There are fun ways to form new healthier habits, and we'll explore those as well.

Join us on a journey of discovery along Oroville's Museum Mile! The City of Oroville owns and operates five city museums including The Oroville Chinese Temple, The C.F. Lott Historic Home, The Pioneer History Museum, The Feather River Nature Center & Native Plant Park, and the Bolt's Antique Tool Museum. Each museum tells a part of the story of this region's rich heritage. Enjoy docent-led tours each class and dig deeper into the stories, artifacts, and lives of this unique Northern California town.

California's temperate climate allows an amazing array of plants to be grown locally. Edible gardens, pollinator gardens, native gardens, contemplative gardens, and demonstration gardens are some of the many varieties to tour. Inspired by the successful model of the "Arts & Eats" OLLI class, "Garden Gourmands" will focus on touring the art of garden landscapes combined with eating locally. Join two Master Gardeners as we explore different area gardens followed by a no-host lunch at various local eateries to enjoy the bounty of Butte County.

This course examines the various aspects that face gardeners on the West Coast: our warming climate, drought, and fire, and how we apply those challenges to a real garden.
