Ecological Re-Storyation Workshop (SOLD OUT-JOIN WAITLIST)
Guided by Robin Wall Kimmerer and We Are the Seeds of CultureTrust, participants will learn about the wisdom and ecology of several native plants, with the opportunity to plant these seeds in a shared act of restoration—nurturing seedlings at home that may later be returned to an Indigenous Listening Garden. This event is supported by Plant Baby Plant. Parking is limited, so we suggest arriving early.
This workshop is part of the Root Song project, presented at Bartram’s Garden by the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. For more events, please visit their website.
