Celebrate the winter solstice with the Dix Park Environmental Artist in Residence, Preston Montague, for a lively retrospective of his 2025 ecological installation artwork—plus a native plant and seed giveaway! Also, hear a presentation by David Rahahę́·tih Webb, conservationist and citizen of the Tuscarora Nation, who will present his latest work, Indigenous Carolinians, followed by a book signing.

The first 20 attendees will receive a free Venus flytrap, one of North Carolina’s most iconic native plants, courtesy of the inimitable Plant Delights Nursery, founded by globally renowned horticulturist Tony Avent.  All guests will also receive a free sample of native seeds used during Preston’s residency, along with instructions for growing them successfully at home.
