Monday – Friday, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm, through August 15 – Native Plants & Northeast Ecosystems Art Show

Visit Grow Native Mass in Lexington and enjoy some art. At Grow Native, we seek to build a shared vision of the world that views humans as being “of nature,” not separate from it. This helps us reframe our landscapes and integrate our built environment into a native plant heritage that must be reclaimed it we are to sustain life as we know it. We must embrace local systems while we also operate in a globally connected world. With that in mind, we are delighted to present our summer art show, Native Plants & Northeast Ecosystems.

We are pleased to feature nine New England artists:

Julie C. Baer • Steve Bennett • Paula Pitman Brown • Mike DeRosa • Daisy Hebb Barbara Kibler • Michaela Nielsen • Michele O’Neil • Bella Rozza

Art Show open hours will be 11:00 am – 3:00 pm Monday-Friday until August 15— in the First Parish Church in Lexington at 7 Harrington Road. Drop in during those hours to immerse yourself in this broad collection of works that focus in on the detailed beauty of native plants, and zoom way out to ponder dilemmas like development and plastic pollution that natural ecosystems face. Bring the kids— there are activities for them, too!
