Lose yourself in a forest of fantasy with the shape-shifting dancers of MOMIX in Botanica, an artful extravaganza of movement, circus, athleticism and magical effects. Creatures real and mythical materialize through dazzling projections and larger-than-life puppets designed by Michael Curry, the Tony Award-winning designer of The Lion King. [First Works Logo] This primeval world forms a magical tableau where MOMIX’s impossibly nimble dancer-illusionists redefine gravity. Experience Botanica…and take leave of your senses in a garden of blooms!

During the Rhode Island Latino CommUNITY Celebration of Hispanic Heritage month (September 15th – October 15th) kids and families will have the chance to participate in an unusual “Treasure Hunt” as big as our state.

Built in 1924, the brick building with green awnings that houses the store is currently undergoing a bit of a facelift, evidenced by the scaffolding which surrounds the exterior.
Note: Wood Items & More is currently celebrating their 22 years in business by offering 20% off store wide and 30% off all floral and ribbon, through April 11. Offer excludes Scouts and classes.
