Pop Up Planting Party was perfect!

These past three evenings we met at the Sacred Seed Pop Up garden to plant. It was an amalgamation of people from all sorts of places. Taylor, whose organization, Sacred Seed, provided us with our name and indigenous ceremony of the blessing of the corn, invited all sorts of friends.

A gal biking by stopped on Tuesday evening and asked if she could join in, Sharon showed up again on Wednesday. People who follow us on IG/FB, heard about the planting and showed up too. Our new Pixan Ixim friends came every night and by last night, were chumming around with everyone.

Nancy, our resident horticulturist, was overwhelmed with people and plants but kindly provided great direction for us. Lots of plants found new homes.
