The Art of Adaptation: Lessons from Native Plants for Creative Living
Join us on February 23 for an enlightening talk by Lourdes Still at CreativeMornings Winnipeg. Lourdes, the visionary behind Masagana Flower Farm & Studio, will share her transformative journey of creative living rooted in the lessons learned from native plants and the prairie ecosystem.
In this talk, Lourdes explores the overlooked beauty of the prairies and the resilience embedded in tall grass prairies’ deep roots. From uprooting herself from the Philippines to nurturing a small farm in Manitoba, Lourdes illustrates how adapting to the environment not only enriched her personal life but also became a powerful metaphor for creative living. Discover the interconnectedness of resilience, collaboration with nature, and the vibrant tapestry of creativity that unfolds when we learn from the native plants around us.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired by Lourdes’ unique perspective on adaptation and creativity on February 23 at CreativeMornings Winnipeg!
Meet our Speaker: Lourdes Still
Lourdes Still is the creative behind Masagana Flower Farm & Studio, a seasonal flower farm, natural dye studio and experiential tourism destination near La Broquerie, Manitoba. In this Filipina-led small business, Lourdes emphasizes eco-friendly growing practices after turning lawns into garden beds. She grows seasonal blooms specializing in plants and flowers that can be used as natural dye sources.
She started as a self-taught flower grower, natural dyer, and tourism operator but has since learned and trained from industry leaders. Her farm is seasonal, but her floral-dyed projects are year-round. Hosting people for her experiential tourism called Tinta Experience is her favourite role. It’s a half-day engagement at the farm where guests participate in a multi-faceted experience on flower farming, dye plant cultivation, flower u-pick and natural dyeing combined. She believes that growing joy (through flowers) and creating magic (through dye plants) is right at our fingertips and our gardens present opportunities to respond positively to the climate emergency. She hopes to inspire people to find that joy in their life and if that’s flowers, great!
