“Minimalist Gardener” book reading and musical performance in downtown Joshua Tree this Saturday (4/20)

Join the Earth Day celebration at the Industry Of All Nations Undyed shop on April 20 from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. This event promises a delightful fusion of literature and music in honor of our planet.

Yasmine Marrero

Yasmine Marrero, the manager of the Undyed shop, has curated an afternoon of inspiration and entertainment. Highlighting the event is a special reading by Janet Tucker, author of “How to be a Minimalist Gardener in the High Desert.”

Marrero said, “I wanted to do something local to celebrate the people in the community that are doing really great things. So I asked Janet (Tucker), if she would read from her book.”

Tucker will share her insights on creating a thriving garden in the challenging environment of the High Desert. She employs space-consciousness and water-efficient techniques like soaker hoses. Her approach, described as sculpting space, transforms outdoor areas into living extensions of our homes.

Tucker said, “I love the idea that someone” ‘s home isn’t just indoors but extends as much as possible to the outdoors and the high Desert garden takes that extension as far as possible.

In addition to Tucker’s reading, attendees will be treated to musical performances by Sunny, Singer/Pianist of WildLife Freeway, whose indie-folk melodies with jazz influences promise to captivate the audience. Earth Girl Helen Brown’s inclusive and expansive platform aims to channel energy and resources towards causes committed to earth science, life practices, and the arts. Her music and performance will express her holistic commitment to the planet.

Join the celebration on April 20 from 3 pm to 5 pm at the Industry Of All Nations Undyed shop. The shop is at 61675 Twentynine Palms Highway, Unit 1, in Joshua Tree.
