Join The Seed [email protected] + The Blue Lab for a time of art-making and storytelling!

From 3 to 5 p.m. we will host a pop-up maker space for garden-related art and seed processing. Drop by anytime to do collage, stitching, drawing, and help harvest seeds from the farm.

From 5 to 8 p.m. we will hear from elders and students who were involved in The Seed [email protected] during the past growing season. We’ll also have dinner together. If you have interest in heirloom seed saving, community-engaged scholarship, or just want to hear about transformative experiences in the garden, please RSVP to join for this portion of the event. Write to [email protected] and include any dietary restrictions.
