SUMMARY:Protecting America's Founding River
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the vast watershed of the James River\, its importance to the ecology of Virginia and the threats facing its vitally important role in that ecology. \nIn the first class of this two-part series\, we explore the rich history and diverse ecology of the James River\, examine the effects of pollutants on plant and animal species\, and investigate the environmental regulations established to protect this natural resource and improve overall water quality. In the second part\, explore the specific practices modeled that will not only beautify the landscape but also protect the watershed. \nParticipants receive extensive information on water regulatory guidelines and how to conduct an assessment of a residential-scale site. An annotated map of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden allows participants to visit the Garden on their own to explore examples of mitigation tactics in place. This program is supported by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency. \nWhy study the James River? It is a historically and ecologically important river in Virginia flowing over 400 miles from its headwaters in the mountains to its mouth at the Chesapeake Bay. It is an ecosystem rich with life that is threatened by a growing human population\, sprawling urban development\, and increasing levels of pollutants. \nThis is an online class conducted via Zoom.

SUMMARY:ALFONSO PÉREZ ACOSTA Art
DESCRIPTION:Art Installation \nSaturday\, July 31\,  1-4:30 pm \nArtist in Residence Exhibition\nJuly 31 – Oct 31\, on view daily in the Anderson Meadow\nIncluded with regular Garden admission  \nJoin us to watch the artist in residence\, Alfonso Pérez Acosta\, create his art installation of your rock paintings!  Earlier this summer\, visitors select and painted a rock that spoke to them. Now\, Alfonso Pérez Acosta will create a large circular art installation with those rocks at the base of the Anderson Meadow. Come see him make this large-scale community art piece! \n\nArtist Statement\nThis project is about reconnecting with nature\, and I have found that the main way of doing this happens by exploring our deep internal nature.  What is it? What does it look like? How does it feel?  In this exploration\, I’ve been particularly drawn to rocks as a natural element\, an artistic medium and a spiritual anchor to navigate these questions personally and with others.  For me\, the most meaningful answers come from an emergent need to recognize and investigate my Indigenous heritage\, and on a collective level\, the whole experience has found a home in the principles of the Medicine Wheel\, an ancient rock formation created by Indigenous Peoples of North America as a sacred space for healing and spiritual practices. \nMy art installation is the result of a creative conversation between these elements is meaningfully inspired by the Medicine Wheel\, with over 300 rocks painted by people of different ages\, genders\, races and cultural backgrounds who participated in our four workshops at the Garden\, each of us reconnecting with nature externally and internally by exploring our own internal natures. This installation gathers all the rocks in a circular area where visitors can see every drawing\, painting\, word or scribble and interact with the space by walking to the central circle\, as an invitation to be present with the healing intentions and inclusive energy of many of us wanting to restore our connection to nature. \n  \n
