About this Event
Come join us for Flourish at J. Hood Wright Park for a day filled with plant love! The day starts with a plant walk by Jerise Fogel leading into a cyanotypes art-making project with Josefina Hernandez. The event culminates in a dance inspired by the local plants, often the overlooked ones, and it will incorporate orignal poetry and music from local poets, musicians, and dancers.
