In the afternoon\, artist Zachari Logan will discuss his new book of ekphrastic poems and drawings\, Green—“poems that pulse with vegetal sensitivity\, moving between alleyways and art history\, between inner monologue and ecological longing”—and share selected readings before leading a plant walk through the grounds alongside McMichael gardener Kim Magee. \nIn 2017\, Logan was artist-in-residence in the iconic Tom Thomson Shack\, creating work from discarded plants found on the grounds. Watch him reflect on that experience in the short film by David Hartman below. \nTickets include round-trip bus transportation from St. George Station\, all programming\, gallery admission\, and lunch. \nThis event takes place rain or shine; participants are encouraged to dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Itinerary \n \n \n \n \n \n\n10 AM: Bus departure from St. George TTC Station\n11 AM — 12 PM: Private tour of Fresh Air: New Acquisitions in Context with curator John Geoghegan\n12 PM: Three-course prix fixe picnic lunch on the McMichael grounds (see menu – menu selections are made at time of purchase)\n1 — 2 PM: Artist talk and poetry reading with Zachari Logan\, featuring his new book\, Green (available for purchase)\n2 — 3 PM: Outdoor plant walk and conversation with Zachari Logan and McMichael garden educator Kim Magee\n3:15 PM: Return departure to St. George TTC Station\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Date\n JUNE 28\, 2026 \n \n \n \n Time\n 10 AM — 4:30 PM\n \n \n \n Price\n $60/person (includes bus\, admission & lunch)\n \n \n \n \n \nAdmission required \n\n\n \n \n \n Register Now\n \n \n Prix Fixe Menu\n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Green Zachari Logan\n \n \n\n Purchase Book\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n Zachari Logan\n \n \n \nZachari Logan is a queer Canadian settler poet and artist whose artwork has been exhibited throughout North America\, Europe and Asia.
