Co-Creations on The Farm with the Vegetal Landscape Lady Cannabis Project
This is an agricultural pilot project that applies techniques that we believe, have yet to be utilized on the farm-landscape when it comes to the relational cross dialoguing between Plants and farmer.
As recipients of The Roxbury Arts Group grant program, Plant Pioneers will be following and documenting a local farmers, beginning with - Raven’s View Genetics and completing with East Branch Farms and the Plants they grow between June 23rd through October 7th.
[Read details below.]
In November, results will be curated and on exhibit for a full week at the Bushel Collective with opening night November 9th where we’ll have a public presentation on results and a workshop to learn process. There will be light snacks and refreshments.

“This is a Plant Pioneers project fiscally sponsored and made possible with funds from the Delaware County Arts Grants, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered in Delaware County by the Roxbury Arts Group”
OPEN HOUSE
Postponed to a later date.
Invited are farmers, students of agricultural, ecology, horticulture and the like programs, gardeners, garden clubs or those work at green houses, foresters and anyone interested in Plants and Trees, please feel free to come and participate at our FREE open house that demonstrates new relational farming methods and the cultivation of Plants.
When:
Time:
What: Listen, learn, experience Plant-Farmer methods.
Location:
Our approach applies somatic, static frequencies and relational methods and propose contributions will impact the way we currently work in agriculture. Learning from Plants as we listen means to better understand them. As we listen to them, they do better, the Land and micro-organisms do better. We all do better. We ourselves may even change in the ways we are relatives of this Earth and in ways we have yet to imagine.
The four methods of frequency we are using - aka Objects of Resonance - Geomancy, Systemic Constellations (Somatic Impressions), Crystallography, Sonic Electronics that that pick-up relatable and reliable intermediary messages from the vegetal landscape where both farmer and Plant will be followed over a period of five months (June 23rd through October 7th).
Results of Plant responses to be documented through writings, recordings, photography, and video and will be presented and exhibited at Bushel Collective in November 9th through the 17th.
This pilot project is a microcosm of Plant + Human relationships. One farmer’s curiosity about how best to work with Cannabis Plants for reciprocal benefit, is a crack in the story of separation, domination, extraction. May this project feed our hearts, guts, minds and hands to recover our relationship with the rest of Nature.

Gallery Exhibition
From November 9th to 17th
This gallery exhibition highlights the vegetal landscape in the upstate New York farming community of Delaware County where attempts are being taken to explore the co-creative process between Plant-Farmer.
The projects approach applies techniques that have yet to tapped into on the farm. We chose to look beyond the human centered farming value system to one that is mutual, emerging, evolving and co-creative. One that makes less of an extractive and over-use, to one that gives a say to inter-species relationships. We inquire with the vegetal’s themselves.
Looking at how we might we be more regenerative in our practices, less destructive and more relational.
Would they, Plants, have preferences? Do they, Plants, already orchestrate farming activities? If so, how? Do they have impressions that offer guidance to farmer, gardener, Plant nursery person to arborists or even township road crew? This project asks, how might we acknowledge a new Plant-Farmer partnership in ways that are inter-relational, cyclical and inter-regenerative.
WORKSHOP
Opening Night, November 9th, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Introduced are key practices that wake up our innate intelligence so we can connect with Nature on deeper levels. Practices and techniques are traditionally tied to ancient systems and evidenced based. This enable us to interpret felt impressions from surrounding land systems. Basically, felt impressions are intermediary messages received from the Natural landscape by using one or more of the Objects of Resonance, as well as our somatic proprioceptive sensory system which detects subtle Plant, Tree or Land frequencies. This is commonly called Plant and Nature communication. Whether new to this or not, enjoy learning perceptual diversity skills or enhancing those already present.
Why is this important?
Learned techniques become a way of life with a world view of Plants and Nature are part of our inter-relational life. Where they not only teach us how to be good ancestors but we also care for them in ways they would really like to be treated. Where domination and extractive culture is ushered out of our memory. Where having deep Nature relationships de-conditions and decolonizes human privilege and exceptionalism. Where Plant Blindness no longer exists.
