At the heart of "Love the Land" is a commitment to the health of our lands, waters, and peoples. We aim to create a space where the community can come together to learn and exchange experiences. It is the common thread weaving us all into a vibrant tapestry of change.

In this series, we will welcome Fall Equinox for a day of healing, learning, and uplifting each other as a community. Weina Dinata, from Poppy & Finch will share her healing journey and parallel stories between life and nature on how she became a land and habitat steward through her mini-habitat living botanical arts.
