Wildflower Festival

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Joe Acone sit down with Drew West, Ryleigh Schwab, and Griff Comtois, the three founders of the annual Wildflower Festival, which is happening this year on August 22nd in Keyes Memorial Field, Milford, NH. This team is building stronger communities and enhancing green spaces through art, education, and action. Our delightful conversation covers how the Wildflower Festival starts, what it’s grown into, the message of ecology, and the collaboration between Drew, Ryleigh, and Griff. We also dive into  the topics of garden design, the benefits of native plants, and the mystery of a missing plant!  Learn more about the Wildflower Festival at www.instagram.com/wildflowerfest.
