NEW YORK | CALIFORNIA

Understory is a roving event series that provides information, tools and unique experiential lessons to attendees about the natural environment that surrounds them. We hope to inspire participants to engage with their city ‘from the ground up.’

Through hands-on workshops, a makers' bazaar and citizen science fair, tours, and plant sale, the inaugural two-day event in NYC was an interactive showcase of living local economies, urban ecologies, and botanical explorations. We have now expanded our programs to Northern California.

Our program partners are an expansive and inclusive group of thinkers and doers who collectively steward the urban landscape. Understory gathers naturalists, botanists, artists, chefs, educators and many others to create and expand opportunities for diverse communities to engage with nature in and around our cities.
