  • Japhet Creek Park 4600 Clinton Dr Houston, TX 77020 4600 Clinton Dr Houston, TX, 77004 United States (map)

Join us in exploring Japhet Creek Park, home to a historic bayou tributary and the future key connector between the Fifth Ward and the Greater East End. Attendees will engage with bilingual writers, visual artists and environmentalists, as they meditate on the natural world around us through a facilitated walking meditation. They will also discover facts about the native wildflowers planted throughout the space and the role they play in ensuring a healthy ecosystem. Artist and Community Activist, Erandi Trevino, and members of The Raices Collab Project will lead hands-on container garden making workshops designed to empower and excite participants about green spaces in their own backyards or porches. All workshop attendees will leave with their own wildflower garden.
