Lady Fern’s Soiree

Imagine you are walking through the woods when you spot something unusual: a purple fern growing in a cluster of normal green ones. You get closer to investigate and find an elegantly-written note inviting you to a secret dinner party. Seems like something out of a fairytale, right? Well, for a few lucky people near Eugene, Oregon, it was a reality. These curious hikers celebrated May Day with Lady Fern herself, enjoying a meal of all-purple foods flavored with the plants from these very forests. I re-used artwork I had already made (shown here at my friend’s birthday party!), hit the thrift stores, and foraged most of the food. I was amazed at the magic possible with just a few groceries and lots of creativity!
