The UIC Heritage Garden is hosting the 7th Annual Harvest Fest!

Join us for the UIC Heritage Garden Harvest Festival, held during the Día de Los Muertos (day of the dead) Celebration by the UIC Latino Cultural Center. 

Harvest Fest 10 Year Anniversary: Rest, Reclamation, Rebirth

• How can you slow down and rest this season?  
• In what ways can we reclaim rest collectively?
• How can collective rest practice help further social justice movements?

As we put our gardens to rest this fall, we honor the last ten years of the Heritage Garden: the knowledge passed down from cohort to cohort; the resistance of alumni that birthed this space of community and healing; and the regenerative cycle of those who enter and those who leave, reclaiming the abundance that the garden has to offer. We welcome you to come honor and celebrate radical rebirth with us.

Wednesday, November 1st from 1 pm to 3:30 pm
Where: UIC Latino Cultural Center, LCB2

We will be creating skull-shaped seed bombs for your community’s guerrilla gardens and Monarch habitats; repurposing fabric scraps through creative expression; and celebrating this year’s unique harvest.
We will be handing out teas, salves, seeds and much more!

Masks are highly encouraged.
