Flower Force is an eco-art movement led by artist Xavier Cortada, inspiring people to reconnect with nature and restore native habitats for pollinators. By planting native wildflowers, participants create havens for bees, butterflies, and other essential species, beautifying their communities and fostering a love for local ecosystems.

Cortada’s flower-themed public art installations serve as community “nodes” for this movement. Each piece of public art symbolizes a central point from which conservation efforts radiate, encouraging neighbors to transform lawns into water-conserving wildflower gardens, reduce pesticide use, and protect local ecosystems.

By joining the Flower Force, participants activate these artworks with action, sparking discussions and collective responsibility for saving pollinators and the natural world around us.
