Nature’s Knowledge with Garden for the Environment and SFMOMA at Ruth Asawa: Retrospective

Join educators from Garden for the Environment as they share the connections between gardening, urban spaces, and the natural world. Ruth Asawa’s garden was a space of creativity, collaboration, and care — a reflection of the many roles she embraced throughout her life. Ruth Asawa: Retrospective features an outdoor garden, inviting visitors to reflect on how Asawa’s attentiveness to nature is woven into her work. Each week, Garden for the Environment shares its decades of expertise through engaging pop-up experiences, from interactive skill-sharing sessions to observational drawing activities.
