Vines of SCEE with WE THE WEEDS

Anna Lehr Mueser, Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, Neighbor

Join WE THE WEEDS botanical arts team for a hands-on vine identification and harvesting workshop, highlighting the characteristics, uses, and lore surrounding different local and invasive vines at the Schuylkill Center. This event runs in conjunction with the creation of a woven installation artwork exploring plant migration, created by We The Weeds during their Landlab Residency this summer through fall.

Please wear sturdy shoes and protective clothing.  For youth and adults.

WE THE WEEDS is a botanical arts initiative aimed at expanding knowledge of the wild plants of Philadelphia, headed by artist Kaitlin Pomerantz and botanist Zya S. Levy. Past projects include a variety of ethnobotanical art interventions highlighting the presence of the natural world within the manmade landscape, and illuminating the uses, historical and cultural significances of wild urban flora.
