Join us for an afternoon of playful collaborative
sculpture-making using dried Agapanthus flowers at Berkeley’s Codornices Park.
This is the latest installment of the Agapanthus Project, begun in 2010.
Free! Arrive anytime! People of all ages and abilities
welcome.
During the summer of 2019 Zach collected hundreds of
wilting or gone-to-seed Agapanthus flowers from the yards of Berkeley residents
(with permission of course!) Now the flowers are dried, the tubular stalks are
light and rigid, and the tufts of the flowers (technically the umbellate inflorescences)
are like Velcro, allowing us to construct multi-level free-standing sculptures!

Maybe you’ll have a picnic lunch and/or a stroll at the
Berkeley Rose Garden across the street before we begin? Or stay afterwards for
the sunset at 4:57pm – great view from the top of the Rose Garden!
This event is wheelchair accessible. Restrooms on site.
Codornices Park is well-known for its 40-foot concrete hill slide and tot play
area.
Facilitator: Zach Pine
