No, nope, that is not what the #NolaWildflowerMeadow currently looks like (swipe for that), but now we are prepping for spring so we can sow seeds and plant starts. We could use your help raking and weeding, as we bask in your lovely company! When: Saturday Jan 18th 10am-noon Where: 2100 Leon C. Simon Blvd Why: to support habitat for wildlife, build soil and aid stormwater drainage. And hey, those tall plants out there are called frostweed, and if it freezes next week (rumor has it! 🥶), their stems will do some cool stuff, you should stop by to check them out the next day! Last slide: as seen in the school across the street! . . @civicstudio.coop @waterleadersinstitute @nolamosquito @npigno #louisiananativeplants #embracetheseasons #teachthechildrenwell

This fall I was one of 8 artists selected to create a short projection for #dublinwinterlights, shown on the General Post Office (GPO) through the month of December. Today is the last day. The theme of the festival was "Grow." My piece, "We the Weeds," aka "Travels of the Lesser Centaury," is about 3 plants that originated across the pond, traveled via human activity to North America, and naturalized here -- clover, dandelion (as seen in the stills), and the centaury plant, encountered in the Rigolets/Honey Island Swamp/Pearlington area. My curiosity about this plant seeded 😉 the idea. A video of the show is in the linktr.ee in bio - thanks @walkwithcarlos for posting! Music by the incomparable @mcmurray.alex! Posting a version where you can hear the music, soon! With this project I've learned alot about contrast and communication, lessons to use in a new year. Reading "The Light Eaters" 🌱🌿🌞🤯 A profound reset in thinking about the earth. . . #dublinwinterlights #centaury #dandelion #clover #travelingplants

Details from the #nolawildflowermeadow in December. Seeds, seeds, and plants thriving from an October planting, with special guests “bits of plastic trash” hiding under the masses of frogfruit 🐸 that we pulled out.
