Eden Reframed is Open to the Public
Yes, my posts became infrequent in the past month. So my apologies to any of those fans whose been waiting breathlessly for some news about the project. We really had intentions to be more attentive to our paparazzi.
I will post photos of the ceremony as I receive them, as well as an edited video of the event. Here are some photos taken before the ceremony of volunteer, Annie Petrocci, working tirelessly on the gate, the sunflower explosion, a new bench and the story hive.

Opening Ceremony in two days
We are busily raking the wood mulch, weeding, scraping old paint off the fence posts, and hoping that the story hive will arrive before the opening ceremony on Saturday. I will post recent photos soon.

Some working definitions
Folks are coming to this blog not understanding what the intentions of Eden Reframed might be, so I am going to post some definitions that will be engraved on signage at the site.
Ecological art (also known as eco-art) focuses on communities and inter-relationships. These include not only the natural features of a particular site, but also the cultural, political and historical aspects of communities or ecological systems. Eco-art can explore the complex structure of an ecosystem while restoring or remediating what has been damaged by neglect or deliberate human interventions. Eco-art may re-envision, attempt to heal or celebrate aspects of the natural environment that have gone unnoticed. It can model innovative or indigenous ways of stewarding local resources. The work can challenge preconceptions about the natural world, encourage behavioral changes and be audience-participatory. Eco-art is created to communicate, stimulate dialogue and contribute to social transformation.

Beautiful day and turnout last Saturday
The gates were welcomed by a lovely crowd on Saturday. Several guests showed off their talents, weeding and gleaning from the garden, on top of weaving beautiful offerings into the fence. Now we are intensely at work on the story hive, with Shahreyar building the structure and me writing down the stories of farmers and gardeners on cedar panels. We have about 5 weeks to get everything done. Right on time.

The Next Event
I almost forgot to post this great photo of the electric truck delivering mulch to the garden.
