Featuring large scale aerial photography, heat mapping and video, Katie O’Meara’s design and research practice explores the interactions of social, urban and environmental systems. Whether in synch or at odds, understanding these dynamics informs good building, landscape and urban design and environmental planning.

Multidisciplinary practitioner and scholar Katie O’Meara explores the complex landscapes at the intersection of nature and human systems.
Her work brings together architecture, landscape, and geography to address significant social and environmental issues. Join us Friday June 12, from 5-8pm, as she showcases some of her findings on Natural Systems, Cultural Landscapes, and the Urban Lab. reception

Guess what? We’re right next door to the Charmery! Stop by for a snack and a book about snacking … ;)

We have so many new books! This one is special to me because it addresses the very real problem of wanting to make nice meals and having zero time & energy to pull it off. For week nights, the author is focused not only on “quick” meals but is holistically looking at easy-to-source short ingredient lists, and as few dishes to clean as possible. Weekends offers more freedom to explore and experiment.

So much more than a cookbook, Al Fresco is an inspiring and beautiful playbook for spending more time outside with friends and family. The credo is simple: Nature opens us up to ourselves, and the food we share opens us up to each other. And the weather today is a great companion! ☀️

So much ❤️ for this classic gardening book by renowned Piet Oudolf, update and expanded with new combinations! It’s elegant and in depth all at once. Gorgeous ideas for a natural garden. Happy planting….

This Friday, the book store will be open during Bikemore’s bike to work day pit stop outside Co_lab! 7am to 10am.
