Throughout the years, Revive the Roots has been a place for Bradford to practice their passion of caring for and learning about plants and the natural systems they are a part of. As a first-time instructor, they invite you to explore what it means to be a part of your surrounding ecology in a meaningful way.

“Rehabilitating habitats and local ecology through native perennial plantings and invasive management has been a joy and at times a struggle. Watching the environment heal itself, with a little educated input and guidance, is really rewarding and feels like being part of a never-ending performative art piece where you are both the creator and the observer."
