About the Event
- Bring your gardening questions to our Ask-A-Master Gardener booth and we will help find research-based answers!
Visit and learn from tabling organizations that share in the mission of nourishing community, responsibly stewarding the land, and more.
Afterwards, watch the short films Rock Faced It All (2025, 17 mins) and What the Hands Do (2024, 37 mins).
Rock Faced It All - When Teresa Bennett was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, she never imagined that a year later, she’d be scaling 60-foot walls with the grace and determination of a seasoned climber. With the knowledge that exercise helps improve symptoms, Bennett has been integral to the expansion of Up Ending Parkinson’s, a nonprofit that provides guided rock climbing for people with Parkinson’s. Bennett transforms her battle with the disease into strength and endurance.
What the Hands Do - Mariana Mendoza and Miguel Casar are attracted to proud, challenging boulders and approach the sport with passion and dedication. At the same time, they believe that climbing hard is not the only thing that matters. As lifelong social justice advocates, they ask: How can we use climbing to cultivate joy and connection in our communities? Can climbing create opportunities for meaningful growth? How can we use climbing to shape the world we want to see?
