Plant Baby Plant: A Bloom with Robin Wall Kimmerer

Date: Sunday, August 2
Time: 9:00a.m.-1:00 p.m.
Location: Native Plant Garden at Fort Missoula
Cost: Free and open to the public. Registration is required.

Join Robin Wall Kimmerer and MNHC to roll up your sleeves with your community! Connect with – and learn from – the land by getting a little soil under your nails and sweat on your brow! We’ll come together at the Native Plant Garden at Fort Missoula to mulch the garden, plant wildflowers, and repair wildlife-friendly fences. This event also includes guest Tim Ryan (CSKT) and is capped at 200 guests.

Plant Baby Plant and its community Blooms are part of a grassroots movement led by Robin Wall Kimmerer that invites people to reimagine our future through acts of care for the living world. In other words, to Raise a Garden and Raise a Ruckus!

This event is in partnership with IndigiPalooza MT. This is not a book-signing event; this is hands on gardening where plants are the star of the show! 

Robin’s books are available for purchase and signing on August 1st at the Wilma.

Please dress for the weather, bring a water bottle, and a camp chair, and prepare to get dirty. Activity levels vary from medium to more challenging (specifically regarding fence repair). Porta potties are available.
