#free trees

Earth Day at Garden in the Light was beautiful! We had 4 PACE artists represented in one way or another, 6 community organizations present, 3 city staff as volunteers, 17 volunteers, got 10 additions to our garden mailing list and 18 families signed up for the free family photo shoot coming in May, gave away about 85 trees and countless seeds and seedlings, as well as toys, books, and school supplies, made many potato prints and paintings, planted 10 bushes and lots of sunflowers to go home with the kids, had 5 performers grace the block with their words and joyful noise, one powerful drum circle, over 100 attendees, and made infinite connections all in two hours on this one corner in this one city on this one Earth. 

18 months ago I picked up a few acorns and stuck them in old compost. They all popped and grew last year, and at least 2 of them are showing some signs of spring growth. My little oak grove to be!

I'm about to apartment search again. I really don't want to. Wish me luck.

Fellow PACE artist, Libby Modern, hooked up this sweet flyer for our community garden event. We’ve handed out a few hundred of these beauties this week and passed them on to the neighborhood elementary school. At the event, I’ll be signing folks up for my first PACE engagement event and fellow PACE artist, Dominique Jordan, will be coming through with music entertainment. Join us next Saturday in the garden!
