Garden People: Lauren Palmer, founder and principal designer, The Wild Mother Creative Studio

It is a pleasure to welcome Lauren Elizabeth Palmer, Founder and Principal Designer at The Wild Mother Creative Studio.&nbsp; Lauren, along with her sisters Leah and Callie, are based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where they offer incredible floral design as well as in-person and online education.&nbsp; Their art is informed by their Afro-indigenous heritage, and reflects their reverence for the natural world, drawing together the threads of the past and present, beauty and activism, to tell the stories of today.&nbsp; The care they take with their materials imbues their creations with passion and true joy.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;2022 is the second year of the “Send Flowers To” campaign, through which the Wild Mother creates floral art installments to honor, draw attention to, and heal intergenerational community trauma.&nbsp; This year, the campaign highlights Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, or MMIW, and involves an installation at the First American’s Museum in Oklahoma City from May 7th to May 9th.&nbsp; Please follow the links in the show notes or at thewildmother.com to learn more and contribute to this important cause.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Garden People podcast, from @violetear_studioS H O W N O T E SLauren and her sisters - The Wild Mother Creative StudioThe Wild Mother#SendFlowersTo for Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women (MMIW) Tulsa Greenwood Massacre - the subject of #SendFlowersTo for 2021The First Thanksgiving Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Story Pocahantas’ kidnapping Ride on King Jesus Edgar DegasRobin Wall Kimmerer bell hooks Yo-Yo Ma P L A N T L I S T California Lilac, Ceanothus ssp. - Ceanothus thyrsiflorus ‘Blueblossom’Sweet grass, Hierochloe odorata, and some of its uses <a...
