I’ll be participating in this event through my role with Southern California Fibershed: We’ll be launching the first SoCal Regional Fiber Sourcebook (!!), displaying some pieces from the 2021 Slow and Local Clothing Project, and bringing local plant and animal fiber for a show and tell.

SAVE THE DATE: A Nature-Inspired Event

The Southland was once a garden of Eden. Now, as Los Angeles continues to build up its cityscape, connection to the land is out of reach for many. This rupture was underscored by the pandemic, when access to clean air, open space, plants and pets became an essential tonic.

But talented and creative designers are finding ways to green the City in ways beyond the traditional backyard, injecting trees onto rooftops, flowers under transit lines and plants into defunct concrete pools. They are reclaiming the wild and bringing back long-vanished birds and bees. Artists and writers are creating works reflecting on new ways of coexistence with all species.

Seeding The City celebrates the 21st century garden in LA with a daylong program of talks, tours, and popups, featuring some of LA’s leading landscape designers and thinkers. Join us on Saturday, April 23rd from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM for a campus-wide event and education about nature in the city…now and into the future.
