Weeds Showing some love for our wild urban fauna
What do infused cocktails, art installations, the concrete cracks of Philly streets and your shoes all have in common? Find out by attending an event with We the Weeds, an ongoing project led by artist Kaitlin Pomerantz and botanist Zya Levy that aims to explore and expand the knowledge of the city’s diverse, yet lesser-loved flora. Visit them at wetheweeds.tumblr.com , or find them on Facebook. Drink the Weeds Botanical Tea Party, hosted by the Hot Tea Project through the Asian Arts Alliance.
