Becoming a Placemaker
Thursday, April 21, 7:00 – 8:30 pm
Presented by Christie Purifoy, author of Placemaker and Garden Maker
Discover how your affinity for the natural world can be turned into a lasting legacy. Inspired by the love-story origins of Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens, Christie Purifoy offers a meaningful and personal lecture on placemaking. While our culture valorizes DIY efforts, placemaking is a humble posture that emphasizes nurturing relationships and building community. Whether you garden on acres or in a few containers, you can learn how to better care for your place so that your place can better care for you and for those you love.
Free of charge; registration is required.
This lecture is a part of our monthly Third Thursday Lecture Series. All lectures will be held virtually and a link will be emailed to registered participants prior to each program date.
