In Flower Community:
Poems and Musical Improvisations for Native Plants                               

In Flower Community, a celebration of community and ecological restoration that took place along Missouri Flat Creek near Downtown Pullman on September 18, 2022, was a landscape transformation featuring native plants, musical instrumentalists and people giving voice to poems from the Plant Poems Project. All were invited to move freely about the site and lend their voices to reading the poems featured on botanical signage during the two-hour performance. Hosted by EcoArts on the Palouse and WSU’s School of Music and Department of English and with support from Humanities Washington, this event corresponded with the 2022 WSU Common Reading Program selection, Robin Wall Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teaching of Plants and took place on the Grand Avenue Greenway near the footbridge opposite NW Ritchie Street.
