SUMMARY:Celebrate Spring with Rhonda Fleming Hayes
DESCRIPTION:Join us May 7th at 7 PM at the University Club of Saint Paul (420 Summit Ave\, St. Paul) for an event with award-winning writer and photographer Rhonda Fleming Hayes for her recent release\, Garden for Life Strategies for Easier\, Greener\, More Joyful Gardening as We Age. \nIn Garden for Life\, Rhonda Fleming Hayes brings a lifetime of gardening experience\, research-based advice\, and collective wisdom to older gardeners who are looking for inspiration and practical strategies. This delightful comprehensive guide presents new techniques and tools to make gardening less strenuous\, and highlights plants that “multitask” to make a garden more sustainable—for both the gardener and the environment. It also advises on how and when to ask for help to lighten the load so we can focus on the life-enhancing aspects of spending time in the garden. \nGarden for Life reminds us that gardening is a simple way to answer the human need to connect with nature\, a craving called biophilia\, while highlighting its many proven health benefits. Gardening offers a low-intensity workout with a variety of natural movements\, provides a sense of purpose while nurturing a meditative state that decreases stress\, fosters improved nutrition and better brain health\, and grows social connection and community. In short\, gardening is excellent for health and longevity! \n“I love the message of Garden for Life because it’s not about doing less and giving up what we love. It’s about gardening smarter.”—Joe Lamp’l \nThis event is free. The University Clubs bar and restaurant will be open before and during the event.

SUMMARY:Art: Stillpoint\, Changing Line
DESCRIPTION:In a world defined by constant motion\, “Stillpoint\, Changing Line” explores the tension between what we hold onto and what we let go. This exhibition serves to illustrate that nothing remains static. Rather\, the “line” is both a boundary and a path\, marking the edge of what is known while leading us toward what is becoming. The exhibition brings together four distinct voices to explore as they move from the rigid and structural to the fluid and ephemeral. Viewers are invited to travel a complete spectrum of artistic interpretation as they enjoy “still world” of flower cloches to the kinetic power of untamed motion found in paintings. Visit the website for admission tickets.
