What does it take to grow a forest at home? Join us for a presentation and garden tour with Vivian deZwager that will teach us about green roofs, dwarf conifers, and sustainable garden maintenance.

This event is possible thanks to Tacoma Creates. Vivian is a first-generation American whose parents’ serendipitous meeting in Tacoma planted the seeds for her love of Tacoma. We traveled the earth to see family but we always came home to our neighborhood. My roots are firmly planted in Tacoma with a world-wide view. For me, seeking knowledge, community and joy in my every day is essential, and being amongst trees and nature has served this purpose. |
