Grow Arts – Gourd Vectors <\/b> is a living sculpture designed by Doug Retzler <\/b> aimed at illustrating our connection to nature and the important place that nature has in the lives of children and adults alike, particularly in an urban environment such as Baltimore. Gourd Vectors is a dynamic structural design evolved from 2010\u2019s Gourd Palace. <\/b> <\/a> It will be comprised of a maypole-like form with a 22\u2019 center pole and grow lines (vectors) radiating from a yin\/yang gardening base. Gourd Vectors will be planted with selected gourd varieties in Leakin Park, the largest of Baltimore\u2019s urban forests, at the
\nCarrie Murray Nature Center. <\/b> <\/a> The sculpture will be planted during the May 21, 2011 opening ceremony of \ufeff <\/b><\/a>\ufeffFaerie Rings & Eco Things<\/a>\ufeff\ufeff<\/b> <\/b> <\/a> – a one day celebration of Spring & Nature Spirits, as well as the beginning of the summer long nature-based art installations called Nature Art in the Park <\/b><\/a> <\/p>\n

Grow Arts – Gourd Vectors <\/b> will function as an evolving grow sculpture that is the fulcrum of the Nature Art Trails leading to and from the Carrie Murray Nature Center. The sculpture will come to full maturity and fruition by the Nature Art closing celebration on September 3, 2011. The sculpture and the activities surrounding it are in support of Carrie Murray\u2019s Summer Urban Gardening educational programming for children. Funding will help facilitate the creation of the Grow Art <\/b> <\/a> sculpture, programming and related activities. <\/p>\n
