A pop-up fiber sculpture garden exhibit opens this weekend and runs throughout the month at the Harriet Beecher Stowe House. It's part of a larger planned restoration to the two acres of gardens and green space at the historic home and museum.

On a morning brushed with a soft breeze and a hint of heat still hanging in the air, the front garden of the Harriet Beecher Stowe House in Cincinnati’s Walnut Hills came alive with quiet purpose. Volunteers moved with intention, pulling up layers of black plastic sheeting. What’s being removed isn’t just bad landscaping, it’s a barrier to memory.
