Growing Our Roots: Crafting Heritage Trees

Saturday, February 7th from 4-5pm

Celebrate Black History Month with a hands-on art and history experience! Teens will listen to an inspiring interview with horticulturalist, author, and historian Abra Lee, whose work explores the untold stories of Black gardeners, growers, and plant experts. While listening, participants will create their own wire-wrapped heritage trees—artistic sculptures symbolizing family, growth, and connection to the past.

For Teens 13-18
