Unwind the Vines & make Earth Day Spheres

We planned multiple community events during the month of April to create Earth Day Spheres from vines pulled out of our park trees. Locals helped in several different ways by joining us in the Park to cut the vines. We then took the vines to the Children's Museum and Phipps Garden Center where we held workshops to teach you how to make spheres. Below you'll find a list of our workshops!

Who, Where, and How

We're excited to have a few different groups involved in our Earth Day celebration. In April, we will take groups out to remove invasive vines from city trees. These vines will help us to create unique spheres in a collaborative workshop. Find out who's involved here.
