For April, guests will celebrate Earth Day and National Poetry Month through typewriter poetry and environmentally-conscious crafting. During the session, guests create a haiku postcard using naturalistic observation and write an intentional poem on seed paper. The seed paper used to type these poetic mantras is crafted from recycled paper with native wildflower seeds. Participants will be given the option to take home their typed intentions and plant them in their own gardens to watch their dreams and intentions grow and eventually blossom, a gift that will benefit the bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
