Vertical undulating orange line with yellow letters that read heritagegarden.uic.edu Fall 2023. A yellow horizontal stripe towards the top reads in green letters Harvest Festival 10 year anniversary - Rest, Reclamation, Rebirth. The text with the event details is listed in a white background. There are two pictures in the poster in a circular shape surrounded by a circular green border made up of an outside green line and an inside set of green dots. One image in the top right corner is a jar full of dried mint and a jar full of dried marigolds. The second image in the lower left hand corner features six students posing in front of a corn husk and marigold arch with props such as a monarch butterfly cutout, mask, mustache and a day of the dead sign. The logos for the Centers for Cultural Understanding and Social Change, the UIC Latino Cultural Center, and the UIC Heritage Garden are at the bottom.

HARVEST FESTIVAL
10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
REST, RECLAMATION, REBIRTH
How can you slow down and rest this season? In what ways can we reclaim rest collectively? How can collective rest practice help further social justice movements?

As we put our gardens to rest this fall, we honor the last ten years of the Heritage Garden: the knowledge passed down from cohort to cohort; the resistance of alumni that birthed this space of community and healing; and the regenerative cycle of those who enter and those who leave, reclaiming the abundance that the garden has to offer. We welcome you to come honor and celebrate radical rebirth with us.

Join us to celebrate the Heritage Garden’s 10 year anniversary! Create skull-shaped seed bombs for your community’s guerrilla gardens and monarch habitats, repurpose fabric scraps through creative expression, and celebrate this year’s unique harvest. We will be handing out teas, salves, seeds, and much more!

Masks are strongly encouraged.
