Flower Boxes
In 2022 Wave Pool hosted a series of classes and programs that engaged and educated our neighbors while empowering our community to become proactive in our community’s renewal. The first part of this project hosted 8 neighbors with wood working classes taught by artist Scottie Bellissemo that resulted in over 40 flower boxes for the community. Two local artists, Mark Harris and Carmel Buckley, painted these boxes with the neighborhood with words and phrases that were community-sourced and potted them with local pollinator plants through a series of community events.
This project also included the creation of an intro to woodworking video for the safety of all who participate in our wood shop programs.
