The work starts in the spring and runs through the end of the growing season. ma space design is a lifestyle brand created by Tomoko Kakita and provide online boutique space offering Japanese Furoshiki cloth Tsutusmi and Origami paper art Tsuru to enrich our lives in ‘ma’ with the Japanese way. Storytellers can work individually or form small groups to work on beds together. ‘ma’ (pronounced as m:) in Japanese means space between things. Along with the support provided by Waterloo Arts, Storytellers have the opportunity to work with storefront partners and other Storytellers to grow and connect with the community around them. No gardening experience necessary! Storytellers will be supported throughout the process of selecting and preparing their plots, designing and planting the gardens, and sustained care and maintenance. Talented Artist Leads and knowledgeable Community Garden Mentors will assist the Storytellers as they plant their ideas in their very own Story Beds. Waterloo Arts will supply the support: the soil, the tools, a modest garden budget, and access to water. Could it be a pollinator garden that brings attention to the importance of bees? What about a lush olfactory experience associated with a loved one? Or maybe just a carefully selected combination of flowers that have significance in your life!Īs part of The Green Palette, Waterloo Arts is looking for individuals and groups who are interested in telling stories through the public planter beds along Waterloo Road in Collinwood. Maybe it’s a family recipe shared in a garden growing with its ingredients, or a native species garden that tells the history of a place. A garden plot is more than a collection of plants. Our sister shops in Portland, Oregon and Olympia, Washington contain more than you can imagine Lush wonderlands of vintage clothing, tarot decks, crystal.
