GFE 30th ANNIVERSARY ZINE

In 2020, Garden for the Environment celebrated its 30th anniversary… in the midst of a global pandemic. Plans for a festive spring party were put on hold, and director Maggie Marks reached out with an idea — what if the occasion was marked with a zine? With GFE-ersTrina Lopez and Jamie Wollum, we came up with a mix of essays and info, recipes and planting tips and tricks, collected from contributors who had been a part of the community over the past three decades. It was a big, special project, and helped make a strange and isolating time feel full of life. I did the art and design, and wrote a short piece as well. Here’s a selection of what we put together.
