Introducing a new quarterly program series at the Conservancy's Headquarters in Ocean Park!
2520 2nd St, Santa Monica, CA 90405
Sunday, March 17 from 2-3:30 p.m.
Poet and gardener, Hilda Weiss leads the first in a quarterly series of intimate tours that correspond with the garden's own life cycles. These collective explorations will spotlight the benefits of our native plant garden, its connection to the Shotgun House and the use of poetry to explore our own connection to place.
During the first half of the event, Hilda will take visitors on a tour of the garden focusing on the selection and care of native plants and how they contribute to the beauty and health of our neighborhoods. After a break for tea and light refreshements, visitors will reconvene inside the Shotgun House for a group reflection on the relationship between indoor and outdoor space and an exploration of of how poetry can help us reflect on what we've seen, hear, smelled, touched, and tasted.
Space is limited so register now before the event sells out! Admission is $10 for members and $20 for the general public. Click HERE to become a member.
