More and more, educators, innovators, and artists are looking for ways to eliminate these obstacles for students with disabilities by building "ramps" towards inclusion. Andrea Moore, a Denver artist and the executive director for the local nonprofit, The Wayfaring Band, shares her organizations core values, best practices and some memorable moments on their radical journey to promote inclusion and celebrate neurodiversity.

For this Make, local floral designer Victoria Rice will lead us in creating floral and vine wreaths to cozy up your door or walls. Nothing like spending an evening immersed in beautiful, green plants to get us through the long winter nights of January, areweright?! 

During the Make, participants will bind their own wreath together and then adorn it with slow drying plants such as seeded Eucalyptus, Cocculus, Aralia, and Smoke Bush. Your finished product will either be a half-floral ($15) or full-floral ($25) wreath which can be restored with fresh flowers again and again.
