Baby miyawaki forest 🌳 day one 💖 this forest took me 3 years and 11 months to bring to life. Originally meant to live at the exit of @heartoflosangeles.official homed now in an even better space where the community can visit and access it any time @grandpark_la Thank you to everyone who came out to plant. The tribal elders who shared their stories and songs with us. These forests are about reclaiming nature in urban spaces, they're scientifically proven to offset climate change, lowering temperatures, attracting biodiversity, and reconnecting us with nature: which is proven to improve both our physical and mental health. This forest is composed of plants that are all native to Los Angeles and includes white sage, elderberry, and ceremonial plants of the native tribes that cared for this land before it was colonized. It might not look like much now- but this forest, with care, will grow rapidly (ten times faster than nature on its own) under the miyawaki method. I'm still processing that this is complete and now lives @grandpark_la 💖 special thanks to Isaac, Tongva tribal member for his song and for planting the very fist plant in the forest the sacred white sage. I can't wait to see this forest grow and what she becomes 🌈🌳
