LOVE THE LAND: Welcoming Fall Equinox

At the heart of "Love the Land" is a commitment to the health of our lands, waters, and peoples. We aim to create a space where the community can come together to learn and exchange experiences. It is the common thread weaving us all into a vibrant tapestry of change. Save the date for our upcoming gathering on Saturday, September 28th, 2:00pm - 5:30pm.

FREE to attend, planting service available for purchase; part of proceeds go to Friends of Tryon Creek. 

In this series, we will welcome Fall Equinox for a day of healing, learning, and uplifting each other as a community. Weina Dinata, from Poppy & Finch will share her healing journey and parallel stories between life and nature on how she became a land and habitat steward through her mini-habitat living botanical arts. Followed by her planting service and a guided hike.

About the speaker
Weina Dinata is a self-taught educator and dedicated native plant advocate integrating her passion, graphic design skill and artistic vision to create an awareness of native plants through her educational botanical studio, Poppy & Finch. A variety of projects and collaborations began to take root, and Poppy & Finch grew organically as a business where she empowers people to become the stewards of our habitat in the urban landscape through her educational/hands-on workshops, unique pop-up mini-trailer botanical experience and creative botanical solutions using native plants for people with small outdoor spaces. She also finds native plants as the teacher in her healing journey to show up authentically for her community.
