Description

Meet Elizabeth Ashe, the artist behind the "Hive Blossom" sculpture in Tenleytown, as well as Sherry Cohen, a local beekeeper. Part of the National Cherry Blossom Festival's Art in Bloom, "Hive Blossom" highlights the interdependent relationship between blossoms and bees. Come learn about bees and urban gardens, and then join Cohen for an optional walk in AU Park at 11 am.

Sherry Cohen grew up in New York City where she knew practically nothing about plants and insects. Since moving to DC she became a community gardener in the late 90s and in 2015, became an urban beekeeper. She is an active member of the DC Beekeepers Alliance (DCBA), has helped maintain hives at DC Public Schools, given talks to elementary school children, volunteered to help run the DCBA Beginning Beekeeping Class, and mentors new beekeepers. She currently runs six beehives in AU Park.
