Daybreak Star Land & Community TendingDecember 21, 10am-3pm @ Daybreak Star Futures Rising: Restoration & Co-creation and Seattle Parks and Recreation are partnering to offer this Land-based Arts, Food Sovereignty, Community Care practice space centering BIPOC community, and opened to all of our relations. This space offers our community opportunity to practice land restoration, stewardship, plant identification, field experience, tools and safety, food sovereignty, plant medicine, art, community, survival skills, culinary skills, and space and time to connect with the land and each other. This space will be facilitated by an intergenerational rotating crew of BIPOC Mentors who live to share and resource the next generation of brilliant humans. All tools and equipment needed to work will be provided. This space is intergenerational and all are welcome to attend! Daybreak Star is a beautiful and powerful reminder of resistance and insistence, the ability to transform a toxic environment into sanctuary. Over the last four years we have planted and tended foods and medicines. We will be creating more space for new plants arriving towards the end of October. Please come and join us while we tend this space. more |

But pulling them out of the wet loose soil is 100% effective. Scotch broom really stands out this time of year (especially in the brown meadows) and are easy to pull in the wet soils.
