Planting Poetry (Grow a Poem. Sow a Future)(all day drop-in activity)

Sunday, June 1 | 11:30 AM - 4:45 PM

Poetry Stage, Harold Way and Kittredge

  • Activity
  • Poetry

Lourdes Figueroa

What grows when we plant both seeds and language? “Planting Poetry” is a participatory project that combines ecological care with poetic exchange. We’ll be distributing seed packets from local Bay Area growers—each paired with a poem by a local writer. These pairings are invitations to engage with poetry not just as something to read, but something to live with, nourish, and tend. Take a seed home. Read the poem. Plant both in soil and spirit. Together, we grow a future rooted in art, community, and sustainability.
