What does it feel like to be Wrapped in Nature?
Join us for an immersive performance of wildcrafted wearable art and storytelling by nature artist Sara Seelenbrandt. This evocative experience invites audiences to rekindle their connection with the natural world through movement, story, and materials gathered directly from nature.
The performance will take place along a shaded woodland trail within the garden, creating an intimate setting that blends art with the surrounding landscape. Come as you are—or dress in nature-inspired fashion! The goal is simply to enjoy the experience and embrace your playful side.
Following the performance, a cocktail hour will be held beyond the moon gate, offering guests the opportunity to meet the artist and view the creations up close.

About the Artist
I spent over a decade in the luxury fashion industry in NYC. I gained a keen understanding of the power of fashion; to elevate confidence, allure and personal identity, and to convey these ideals even when the wearer had none.
Fashion articulates feelings. Print and color can affect happiness, the addition of a ruffle can create softness, or how the selection of the heel can change a look from approachable to ruthless.
I am enthralled by the medium of fashion, and disenchanted by the industry’s exploitation from capitalism. The wheel in which garments are designed and produced to meet consumer demand goes against the essence of what fashion is, a trademark of one’s signature style, something to treasure, a way to honor its maker. It’s meant to be repeated, loved until it wears out, or even passed down.
