First Saturday Plant Walk

Things are moving quickly at Festival Beach Food Forest as we respond to the proposed wastewater pipeline relocation tied to the I-35 expansion project. After careful consideration, we have decided to shift plant relocation to next week (February 12 and 14) and use this Saturday to gather in community.

Rather than rushing forward, we believe the most supportive thing for the land and for each other right now is to slow down for a moment and be together. This gathering is an opportunity to learn, reflect, and tend grief as we collectively process a major disruption to a place we care deeply about.

We’ll make space to honor the plants, acknowledge the work already poured into this landscape, and build a shared understanding of what’s happening and what comes next.

Join us 2/7 for:

• A guided plant walk along the impacted barrier berm

• Updates on the pipeline situation and concrete ways to plug in

• A sound bath and grief ritual with and for the plants

• Banner-making in support of the forest

• Optional workday activities for those who want to get their hands in the soil
  
  

Come for all or part of the morning. All ages welcome! Thank you for showing up with care as we move through this moment together.
