Throughout the years, Revive the Roots has been a place for Bradford to practice thier passion of caring for and learning about plants and the natural systems they are a part of. As a first-time instructor, they invite you to explore what it means to be a part of your surrounding ecology in a meaningful way.

"Rehabilitating habitats and local ecology through native perennial plantings and invasive management has been a joy and at times a struggle. Watching the environment heal itself, with a little educated input and guidance, is really rewarding and feels like being part of a never-ending performative art piece where you are both the creator and the observer." - Bradford

Spring is in full force at Revive The Roots & we are so happy to have ***r.hikes back at Mowry Commons this coming weekend. 🌈 Q***r Hikes is a fun, safe space for the LGBTQ+ community in southern New England to explore nature & make new friends. They will be leading a hike that starts with exploring the community garden spaces, followed by a hike up the fruit path to explore the Pine Forest. 🌲

Join them at the welcome gate at 10am to explore all the wonderful ephemeral features that we love about this space. Link to register is in their bio. Follow Q***r Hikes to learn more! 🦝
