SUMMARY:Daylily Documentary Screening
DESCRIPTION:Daylily is a feature length documentary that explores the devotion surrounding a plant that blooms for only one day. Through the personal stories of gardeners from different backgrounds\, the film reflects on the fleeting beauty of life and the quiet meaning found in moments that often pass unnoticed. By observing these flowers\, which appear briefly and are found everywhere\, the film invites viewers to recognize the same fragility\, value\, and presence within themselves. \nDuring the making of the film\, I traveled to nine U.S. states and two countries\, interviewing gardeners along the way\, and ultimately finished the project with a deeper appreciation for the small\, often overlooked moments we pass by every day. One of the most meaningful moments in the film centers on what many people casually call “ditch lilies.” Flowers that are easy to ignore slowly become something an entire community learns to truly see and celebrate. \nAnother powerful story comes from the history of daylily hybridizers and the ongoing efforts of today’s growers who are shaping the future of the plant. \nWorking on this project changed my perspective on life\, and I hope it can offer the same inspiration to those who watch it as it did for me while creating it. This film brings warmth to winter and allows audiences to experience the peace and unexpected gifts that flowers bring to us all.

SUMMARY:Now + Then Marketplace Make Love Market
DESCRIPTION:Now + Then is a curated market that happens ‘now and then’ featuring local artists\, artisans\, makers\, and resellers in Philly. The markets are always free to the public\, dog\, and kid friendly. Local event producer\, Steph Irwin\, started N+T Marketplace in 2021 after her time helping start Philly vintage institution Thunderbird Salvage. \nThe community of vendors & shoppers has grown exponentially in the last 5 years\, with monthly markets popping up everywhere from Fishtown to Love Park to Eakins Oval. Irwin sees the market as a way to stimulate local economy while informing the public about ecological impact of shopping within your community. \nLast year’s Make Love Market brought over 700 people out to the old Visitor Center at Love Park\, soon projected to be a restaurant\, but now home to Irwin’s light install. This is the third Make Love Market along with weddings on Valentine’s Day at Love Park. Vendors include a local caricature artist who will be onsite to paint couples\, sweet treats from NiniBsweets\, self-love gifts from Not a Bad Life and Tinder profile reviews from Free Dating Advice Philly.

SUMMARY:2nd Hand Circus Scrap Night : Sustainable Love
DESCRIPTION:Love Letters to Old Things\nA Sustainability Valentine’s Scrap Night \nOn the eve of Valentine’s Day\, 2nd Hand Circus invites you to fall back in love — with the things that have been left behind. \nScrap Night is a curated evening of short circus works made from thrifted\, passed-down\, recycled\, or once-forgotten objects. Eight circus artists each receive (or bring) a secondhand item and transform it into a brand-new act. Think juggling\, contortion\, aerial\, fashion experiments\, and delightful curiosity — all sparked by old stuff with a story. \nThis Scrap Night leans into Valentine’s Day through a sustainability lens:\n💘 loving what you already have\n💘 repairing instead of replacing\n💘 choosing care\, creativity\, and reuse \nBecause sustainability is an act of love — for objects\, for people\, and for the future. \n2nd Hand Circus is a new performance company creating spaces for creative ingenuity rooted in sustainability. Scrap Night is our playground and our laboratory: a low-stakes\, high-curiosity experiment asking artists to think outside the box and make something meaningful from what already exists. \nWhat can you make from what’s been left behind?\nCome watch these artists find out. \nFebruary 13\n📍 Thunderbird Hall — 2856 Frankford Ave\, Philadelphia\, PA 19134 (at E Cambria St) NOTE: This event is NOT at Thunderbird Salvage!\n🕗 Show at 8pm | Doors at 7:30pm \n🎟 Tickets: $35–$75 (all tickets includes two drink tickets)\nNOTAFLOF options available at the door\nBar on site + food available \nBefore or after the show\, browse the 2nd Hand Circus Thrift Store and explore Thunderbird Hall’s estate items\, surplus\, tools\, and legendary $2-per-pound bins. \nAccessibility note: Thunderbird Hall is up one full flight of stairs with a landing halfway. \nCome for the circus. Stay for the romance.\nBreak up with fast fashion. 💔♻️

SUMMARY:Aquatic Saturday at the Discovery Center - Freshwater Mussels!
DESCRIPTION:The Strawberry Mansion Lake has been here for decades\, let’s see what’s inside! Join Audubon Mid-Atlantic in observing and documenting this aquatic ecosystem as the seasons change. For February 7th\, we are joined by Fairmount Water Works and will take a look at our freshwater mussels that are nursing in the lake. We will learn how to measure them for data\, and conclude with sampling the water to view and identify our microscopic organisms. We’ll also have materials for optional watercolor painting with lake water. RSVP down below to secure your spot. \nThroughout the year\, you can try our rotating activities of exploring microorganisms and macroinvertebrate sampling during warmer weather. This community science data will be collected and utilized for future management. Kid-friendly activities are available like using children binoculars\, scavenger hunts\, arts and crafts (adult supervision is needed). Lastly\, take a walk on our trail and waterwalk to learn more about our conservation projects!
