Just like plants, our histories carry roots.
Even after displacement, hardship, and change, growth continues
About this Event

Through plant therapy and cultural art, guests are invited to reflect on the meaning of roots, resilience, creativity, and growth.


This Juneteenth experience explores the connection between nature, identity, and history through hands-on planting and painting activities inspired by African American and Indigenous artistic traditions.
