My purpose in life is not only a habitat steward but also a big advocate for my community. I love supporting and featuring local artists, makers and young generations! With that said, besides teaching educational, hands-on botanical workshops on native plants, my dream has been to have a space to feature local artists/makers’ works and host events such as meet the artist series and book signing. At these events, you will meet them in-person, support and get to know them behind their passion and the story behind their unique works or creations.
Drinks & snacks are provided.

We provide fun, illustrated products that highlight topics important to native habitat builders, so they can easily show that they’re part of that community – and have a chance to educate others about the importance of a healthy native ecosystem.
