Flower Picking & Film Screening: 'MIRASOL'
August 23, 2024 5:30 PM –7:30 PM
Event Summary
Join Palmer Land Conservancy and our friends Gather Mountain Blooms at historic Venetucci Farms for a seasonal celebration of Colorado's rich agricultural heritage.
Enjoy an evening stroll through the farm's flower fields and learn about its sustainable practices. Then, you'll craft your own one-of-a-kind custom bouquet from a myriad of seasonal blooms to take home.
Following your tour of the farm, join Palmer and Gather Mountain Blooms for locally-sourced seasonal Colorado hors d'oeuvres and a screening of MIRASOL, Looking at the Sun.
In this poignant new film, award-winning filmmaker Ben Knight challenges us to think about land and water use in the West through an intimate portrait of a rural farming community in Pueblo, Colorado, as they fight to protect their water and land, and in turn, their culture and livelihood. The film screening will be followed by a Q&A panel discussion, featuring some of the film's producers.
