The Ripple Project

Our 5th annual Blue Bonsai Show was a spooktacular magical experience for all the ghouls, ghosts, spirits, and freaks who came out! We raised over $1k for charities!! Thanks to everyone who donated, supported, and performed!!! See ya’ll next year!!!! 🎃👻🕷️👽

Be sure to check out museum to experience the shade under this newly built haba! 🛖

A huge shout out to the and volunteers that made this haba come to life — we value the kind of team work that makes great strides to be culturally and ecologically resilient! ✨

This haba and the surrounding medicine garden exemplify the kinds of work Ripple Project does to preserve traditional ecological knowledge and native biodiversity.

Feel welcome to reach out if you wish to get involved in our network and projects as such!

🤠🤗🌱🤗🤠

Check out these close-ups of the haba/shade structure! Coyote Willow (Salix Exigua) branches are layered in a manner that provides a cooling shade from direct sunlight.🌞The columns of the structure are made of consciously harvested Jeffrey Pine (Pinus jeffreyi) tree trunks, prepared by our greatest mentor, Ed Kleiner — aka Seedman! 🧑🏼‍🌾

The pop of orange from the stained tables visually enhances this public rest area that is intended for gathering together, relaxing, or taking a lunch break while checking out the surrounding medicine garden! 🌱

You can read more about the haba in our previous post.
