The Spring Plant Sale Returns Saturday, May 10th at a NEW LOCATION!
This year our Spring Plant Sale is moving to a new location! A heartfelt thank you to Rowland Hall for hosting our sale for so many years. We’re incredibly grateful for their partnership and support. This year, we’re excited to bring the sale to the Utah State Fairpark (155 N 1000 W), expanding access to food-growing plants in a historically underserved area. This move aligns with our commitment to supporting community-led food sovereignty and increasing access to fresh, organic, local food, particularly in neighborhoods that have faced systemic barriers to healthy food options.
Save the date: Saturday, May 10th, 8 AM - 1 PM
New location: Utah State Fairpark, 155 N 1000 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84116

Contacts: nan seymour 801-450-6678, nan@nanseymour.com Linda Dalton Walker 801-891-9743, lindadaltonwalker77@gmail.com On Behalf of Wings An exhibit honoring the birds of Great Salt Lake featuring work by wildlife photographer Linda Dalton Walker and poetry by nan seymour May 10th - June 22nd Salt Lake City Main Library 210 East 400 South, 4th floor gallery Opening Reception Saturday, May 10th 4-5:30 pm Gallery Talk Saturday, June 21st 4-5:30 pm Exhibit Description The imagery and poetry in this exhibit conspire on behalf of millions of birds reliant on Great Salt Lake as an irreplaceable refuge. Wildlife photographer Linda Dalton Walker and lake-facing poet nan seymour first met at the lake’s receding shoreline. The two friends share a deep devotion to the shallow lake. They reverence the countless lives the saline waters sustain, especially those of over 230 species of birds. Each feature of this exhibit is both a witness and a prayer on behalf of our winged neighbors. Since January of 2022, Linda & nan have helped gather a community to keep vigil for our sacred lake at this time of peril. The intimate photographs, participatory puppetry, and poetry are just some of the expressions of a great body of work which continues to swell. Photographer Anna Pocaro, teacher and musician Josh Craner, filmmaker John Meier, artist Sarah May, and artist Therese Berry, are all accomplices in this work, bearing witness in their own genres. Collectively, these artists invite you to turn your own heart toward the lake and to lift your face toward her feathered emissaries. While you are here: learn the shape of swallows, fold a pelican as an act of devotion, and trace the miraculous migration of Wilson’s Phalaropes with the help of sixth-grade experts. The lives of our winged neighbors are inseparable from our own. Birds cannot advocate for themselves in the human realm and depend on our help. Pay attention to any particular species and you will feel a swell of affection. Speak up on their behalf and add your voice to the growing chorus of lake-facing, bird-allegiant friends. We can repair the rift between humans and the life that loves life by practicing reverence and reciprocity. In this way, may we save what we love. ###
