Do you stop to smell the roses? Smell them until you sneeze? Do you wait for the forsythia? Have a favorite shade of rhododendron? Well, we’ve got the goods for Portlanders and all those who hold a poetic love for plants with The Odd Guide to the Flowers of Portland.  

Join us to celebrate the launch of this surrealists’s pocket guide to flowers and get a sneak peek at the new Buckman building at our first book party in the new space! We’ll have snax, plenty of bevs, writing prompts in response to selected blooms, readings from the book, and an interactive group art-making project that uses plants to make a DIY organic sculpture together. 

Come check out new space, honor our floral companions, pick up your copy of Odd Guide, and herald the onset of summer with us -bring your crew and some greenery with you! Free and open to all. Our new space is much bigger so the more the merrier! 

• Note: we are currently still moving between the old Buckman Mothership and our new one. This is a just-moved-in empty apartment style party with a full-on grand opening of the space pending later this year.
