“The plot began to grow sparse as the other flowers died or were gift ed to students and local community groups …” But the Concrete Flower did not lose hope! Staying connected to the plants and animals around her through her root network, the Concrete Flower stays resilient through many changes and protects the plot and the school yard in the process. Until one day…the Concrete Flower reunites with a special friend from the past who forever changes her understanding of “home.”
