SUMMARY:Planting Art for Other Species: A Conversation with Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg and Giovanni Aloi
DESCRIPTION:Join this free online conversation with artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg and author Giovanni Aloi about imagining art with other living worlds. \nWhat would art look like if its primary audience were not human? In this Plant Initiative conversation\, artist Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg joins art historian\, author\, and Plant Initiative board member Giovanni Aloi to explore how art can cultivate attention toward the sensory worlds\, needs\, and agency of other species. \nGinsberg will discuss Pollinator Pathmaker\, her ongoing series of algorithmically generated planting schemes\, designed from the perspective of pollinating insects. Planted and cared for by humans\, these living artworks reorder ideas of beauty\, authorship\, and spectatorship while responding to the ecological pressures facing bees\, moths\, butterflies\, beetles\, and other pollinators. The conversation will also introduce The Length of a Moment\, Ginsberg’s new public sculpture in Oxford. Comprising three bronze forms inspired by a moth’s flight through turbulent plumes of floral scent\, the work gives enduring shape to an encounter that ordinarily remains fleeting and beyond human perception. \nTogether\, Ginsberg and Aloi will consider how technology can help us imagine multispecies experience without claiming to possess it; how gardens and sculptures might become instruments of ecological empathy; and whether art can serve nonhuman life while challenging human viewers. Their exchange asks what changes when artistic practice begins not with representation\, but with responsibility to other living worlds. \nThere will be time for questions from the audience following the discussion. This free program will be livestreamed with a link to be sent to participants before the event and will also be recorded and available for viewing online afterwards.

SUMMARY:Autumn Gathering: Haiku in the Garden
DESCRIPTION:Join us to savor the poetry of the season\, in this free gathering hosted by Jayne McPherson. \nGardens have an essential and ubiquitous place in lyric poetry. The great poet Kahlil Gibran called friendship a garden\, one where planted seeds are sown “with love and reap thanksgiving.” \nDuring this season\, let’s follow his poetic lead and look up at distant mountains that frame the lazy lady on the horizon. Let’s remind ourselves of the middle pond’s pink and white lotus blossoms—that they float night and day under the sun or moonlight. Let’s notice how the water fountain’s splash undulates in ringlets; how\, inside the iron gate\, blossoms protrude as promises kept in heirloom roses; how a giving-tree oak allows another woodpecker or squirrel to sneak substance and nest. \nHaiku offers beauty in form and empathy. And like a harvest\, it can evoke awe or perhaps simply ahhh. When we seek pause in the natural world\, we may remember our breath and breathe more deeply. We may tune in\, feel our heartbeat\, sense a door opening as we pause before a sunning lizard or grazing deer. \nWriting haiku is a quiet way to savor these Garden gifts. \nThis is our third annivesary writing circle and will feature haikuist\, David Watts. His poetry has been published widely. It includes two books\, Dream Tree & Seed Kites. \nDavid Watts is recognized by Haiku Poets of Northern California.

SUMMARY:(American Daffodil Society) 2026 National Fall Daffodil and Photography Show
DESCRIPTION:The judged daffodil show promises a visual feast of otherworldly\, autumn-flowering daffodils previously unseen outside of collectors’ circles—or\, in some cases\, the wilds of the southern Mediterranean and North African landscapes whence they originate. Many great new hybrids being created to extend the daffodil season from early autumn into late winter\, eventually connecting to the familiar spring harbingers we so eagerly welcome to usher in a new gardening season\, shall debut in this show. Witness green daffodils\, sniff flowers with utterly exquisite perfume\, marvel at stems bearing singular to numerous florets\, and behold flowers so novel as to completely reset your understanding of what a daffodil is. You won’t be disappointed! The photography show is always fun\, as flower photography always is. Past submissions have ranged from candid shots with family pets\, to high tech computer manipulation\, to modern interpretations of 1600s Dutch still lifes. The public is welcome to enter submissions\, but it is strongly suggested to review the entry schedule well in advance for deadlines and criteria.

SUMMARY:The Reset: Autumn Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:When the days grow shorter and the year begins to wind down\, there’s no better time to pause for some self care and rejuvenation. \nThe Studio at Marin Art and Garden Center becomes a sanctuary this November\, as Jodi McLean and guest sound practitioners create space to exhale before the season shifts into full swing. As the autumn gardens hold the space around you\, the resonant frequencies of crystal bowls\, gongs\, chimes\, and vocals will carry you into deep relaxation\, untangling tension\, quieting the mind\, and returning your nervous system to a place of ease. Arrive early to wander the gardens and invite someone to share a moment of stillness. \nPlease bring a yoga mat and wear warm\, comfortable clothing with extra layers. Traditionally done lying down on your back\, this experience might be more comfortable for you if you bring extra supplies for yourself (pillows\, and maybe an eye pillow to take your audio experience to the next level).

SUMMARY:Corn as a partner and gift giver: Voices of respect
DESCRIPTION:This free online mini-conference features 10+ inspiring speakers sharing about why corn is a special being and is deserving of respect \nCorn (Zea mays\, also known as maize) is a plant of great importance in many cultures and economies worldwide. However\, corn is special for many reasons besides this plant’s well-known productivity and corn’s widespread use for human and animal food as well as for energy and industrial uses. Corn was first developed by the Indigenous peoples of Mexico thousands of years ago and has a long and important history of strong connection with the peoples of the Americas who consider corn as an ancestor\, teacher\, partner\, giftgiver\, and spiritual being. Corn has become important for many people in non-Indigenous cultures as well. However\, typically\, corn is often used in the dominant culture just for human purposes without the sense of respect\, reciprocity\, and appropriate use with which corn was originally developed\, and without appreciating the unique being that corn is. \nThe goal of this free online mini-conference is to encourage all groups of people to consider corn as a being deserving of more respect. The event features a diverse group of inspiring speakers who will speak on behalf of corn and why this plant being is important as well as how they feel that corn should be treated. They each bring their own perspective about this plant\, but what they have in common is a sense of appreciation and care for corn which they will share with you in this unique event. \nThe presenters are: Mary Anne Quiroz\, Executive Director\, Indigenous Roots; Gustavo Romero\, Chef/owner Oro by Nixta y Nixta Tortilleria; Zachary Paige\, Farmer & Sustainable Ag & Food Systems Coordinator – NW RSDP; Hope Flanagan\, Community Outreach and Cultural Teacher\, Dream of Wild Health; David Abazs\, Farmer\, Round River Farm & Exec Dir\, NE RSDP – UMN Extension; Milford Calamity\, Diné (Navajo) Jeweler; Robin Wall Kimmerer\, Author\, Scientist\, and Professor; Frank Kutka\, Adjunct Lecturer\, College of Menominee Nation; Walter Goldstein\, Executive Director\, Mandaamin Institute; LoriAnn Bird\, Author\, Herbalist\, and Educator; and Rebecca Krinke\, Professor of Landscape Architecture\, UMN. The panel moderators are: Dr. Kate Brelje\, St. Bonaventure University; Dr. Dan Philippon\, University of Minnesota; and Dr. Nick Jordan. \nEach of the three speakers in the panel will give 12 minute presentations\, followed by 15 minutes of questions and answers from the audience directed at any or all of the panelists. So each panel will run for about an hour\, with the program lasting three hours. This live event will also be recorded and will be available for free viewing online afterwards on The Plant Initiative’s YouTube channel. \nA Zoom link to the live program will be sent to participants before the event. Audience members are welcome to participate in any portion(s) of the program that they would like\, and to watch the recording later for anything that they might have missed\, which they would like to watch again\, or to share with others.
