Dandelion Summer Edition
SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2026
Hello everyone,
It's been a great few months here at Dandelion. We've met so many incredible people and are really thankful for all of the support. We've now hosted our launch party, a piñata workshop, a climate change workshop, the AIGA Buzz Happy Hour, and many Open Hour Sundays.
We've also realized what is and isn't doable with two young children hopping around. We're not going anywhere... but we will be pacing ourselves a bit more. :)
So what's next? We're in the process of getting our next batch of events on the books. If you want to host an event, a workshop, or a class let us know—we are open to ideas!
Upcoming Events

Bookstore Selects
Mergoat Mag Vol 2 No.1 | The Invasion Issue
A publication that provides a collective, interdisciplinary record of the ecological situation throughout Southern Appalachia.
What are invasive species? While this question seems simple, it has become one of the most controversial topics in popular ecological discourse—riddled with misinformation, malpractice, and magical thinking. Varying opinions amongst practitioners of ecological conservation, permaculture, herbalism, and craft have emerged, often carving deep conceptual and practical divisions.
Third Place Zine Issue #2 | Movement Building
Our second issue chronicles resistance and resilience as they take shape in unexpected places: organizing meetings, pickup basketball games, and tea parties. These everyday gatherings become spaces where collective strength is built.
