BACK TO MAIN PUBLIC EVENT PAGE
As a follow-up to the discussion held January 6th as part of the Friday Nights @ Not A Cornfield series, and in keeping with the tradition established since the beginning of this project, we invite you to join us for a spot of tea, some fresh poetry, and a discussion about the future state of this park.
Herbs in Los Angeles. This city has a vast variety of herbs from all over the world that can readily be found within Los Angeles’ diverse and expansive ethnic and communities, if you know where to look. A sampling of various medicinal and tasteful herbs from local shops will be provided for sipping.
NOTE
Friday Nights@Not A Cornfield programs are held rain or shine in the heated and covered Yurt, near the Not A Cornfield North Gate entrance. These events are free of charge and open to the public.
ABOUT NOT A CORNFIELD SALONS
Not A Cornfield Salons that bring people together in order to share, engage, energize, and enhance the organic nexus that is this project. Please note that this is the final salon of 2005. The series will reopen in mid-January 2006.
ABOUT THE NOT A CORNFIELD PROJECT
Growing in the historic center of Los Angeles, the Not Cornfield project transforms an industrial brownfield site into a cornfield for one agricultural cycle. Now the Los Angeles Historic State Park, the site popularly known as 'The Cornfield' had remained derelict for more than a decade. The project serves as a potent metaphor that provides a focus for reflection and action in a city unclear about the location of its energetic and historic center.
