Next Epoch Seed Library has contributed a special collection of Gowanus plants to this event produced by the Holes in the Wall Collective
Ever wondered about what we can learn from the plants that have survived our worst behaviors - the so called weeds that can thrive in industrial sludge, the hidden edible botanicals determined to grow amid the changing climate and landscape?
Join us this Saturday June 29th 2-5pm for a performance walking tour of the rapidly changing Gowanus -- focusing on social justice, rezoning, and wild weeds surviving the canal! A beautiful day with guided tours/plant walks, pop-up performance and a mostly foraged meal from @the_c_u_r_b
Led by long standing neighborhood eco-art perfomance company Artichoke Dance and plant stewards Journei Bimwala and Candance Thompson. Including a stop at the GCC Lowlands Nursery with special guest seed library popup from Next Epoch Library and concluding with a special micro Collaborative Urban Resiliance Banquet, a delicious light meal made form mainly foraged ingredients. Biochar aioli on acorn muffins anyone? Yes please.
Finish the day with a glass of our Linden Lemon Balm Saison, a collaboration with Wild East Brewery, with proceeds going to support the work of Journei and 4 other creative climate folks doing the work in NYC.
